Full definition of rate limit
Every third-party API has rate limits — Slack lets you post about 1 message per second per channel, Stripe allows ~100 reads/sec, Shopify caps at 2-4 requests/sec depending on plan. Tiny Command tracks these limits per connection and throttles outbound calls automatically so workflows don't crash on a busy day. Workflows pause briefly, retry, and continue — you don't have to think about it.
In practice
Rate limit examples
Throttled
A Loop node iterates 500 Stripe customers; Tiny Command paces requests so Stripe never returns a 429.

FAQ
Common questions about rate limit
What if I hit a rate limit anyway?
Tiny Command automatically retries with backoff. If the limit persists for an extended period, the workflow surfaces the error.
