Is there a file count processing limit - Google Docs Download - Gemini

What are you trying to achieve?

I plan to dump 100 PDFs into a Google Drive and have each file go through a Make scenario where it is downloaded > pushed to Google Gemini > data extraction > push content as new row on Google sheet.

The content from each file becoming a new row in a Google sheet.

My question is this -
Are there any rate limits I should be aware of for any points in the process (download, Google Gemini)?
How does make handle this type of tasks? Does it work on 1 file at a time or does it get serialized with multiple files going through the scenario all at once?
Are scenarios with large numbers of files typically a bad idea?
What other advice or pointers do you have for achieving this goal?

Steps taken so far

I have built the flow for a single PDF and it works fine.

Welcome to the Make community!

There is no file limit in a scenario run. However, there are other scenario limits you should be aware of, including your monthly data transfer quota.

You can get more information on these limits here:

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful.

I also noticed there’s a cycles parameter which I’m guessing I need to set higher then the number of files I expect to be processed in a single run?
