What is your goal?Generate a scenario
What is the problem & what have you tried?I generated a scenario, and in the final stretch, when I click “Run once,” I get the message shown in the image. If I check my remaining credits, it says I’ve spent 33 and have 1567/1600 left. What’s going on?
Error messages or input/output bundles[429]
Screenshots (scenario flow, module settings, errors)Hi Hector, the Gemini API has reached its execution limit. You need to add a billing method. The rate limit is not just the total number of requests but also the tokens and how many requests are made per minute. I’d be happy to explain how to configure it in a call.
Hey Josh, this caught my attention as I’m already building the kind of systems you’re looking to scale.
I work primarily with Make.com at a system level not just scenarios, but full pipelines across CRM, lead routing, enrichment, and attribution. Most of my recent work involves API-heavy builds, custom webhook logic, and making sure workflows are reliable (error handling, retries, clean data mapping, etc.).
I’m very comfortable owning projects end-to-end and working async with clients, especially where requirements are a bit messy and need structuring into clean, scalable systems.
Happy to connect and see how I can contribute as you grow this side of the business. You can book a meeting here to discuss this further.
Hi Hector, welcome to the community.
That 429 error usually isn’t about total credits, it’s a rate limit issue. It happens when too many requests are sent within a short time, especially with APIs like Gemini or OpenAI.
You can fix this by adding a small delay between modules or handling it with retries so the scenario doesn’t fail on execution.
Quick question, are you calling the API multiple times in one run or looping through data?
I’ve worked on similar setups and can help you stabilize it properly.
You can also check some related builds here in my website portfolio.
Happy to take a look if you want to share more details.
Best regards,
