Hello everyone,
Sorry to bother you again. I have an error 429 in my watch record “failed to load data”. Make doesn’t let me choose a table.
@Appaloosa Looks like you exhausted the API limit/quota on Airtable.
Do you know how to solve this issue ?
@Appaloosa please go to your Workspace > Settings. Check if Public API calls are exhausted. If so, you will have to upgrade your Airtable plan.
A 429 error means the API you are calling has rate-limited your requests - you have sent too many in a short window and the server is telling Make to slow down. This is not a Make bug, it is the external service enforcing its own limits.
The fix depends on which module and API is throwing it. The most reliable approach in Make is to add a Sleep module right before the problematic HTTP or app module - even a 1-2 second delay can prevent bursting through the rate limit when you are processing many bundles in a row.
If you are using a native Make app module rather than a raw HTTP request, check the app’s official documentation for its rate limit (calls per minute or per second) and size your sleep accordingly. For higher-volume scenarios, you can also enable the sequential processing option in the scenario settings, which prevents parallel bundle execution and spaces out your calls naturally.
If the 429 is happening on the very first call rather than mid-iteration, it could be a credential issue or a plan-level quota on the API side. Which app or endpoint is throwing this for you?
It throws me at the beginning of my make scenario an update record.
I saw the setting in Airtable, I reached the limit of API Call.
