**Error “429” or Rate Limit Error**

These error messages are [commonly translated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes) as “Too Many Requests” errors and usually happen when a Make module reaches the API rate limit of the specific app.  
  
  
The easiest way to prevent them is to:

- Work with less data in a single scenario execution to reduce the total number of module executions (operations in a short time period.
- Create short delays between the module’s executions with the use of the [Sleep](https://help.make.com/util#Ggpru) module.
- In the case of the webhook scenarios, [execute them sequentially](https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/scenario-settings#1---sequential-processing) in order to reduce the number of scenario executions running at the same time.
