When you use Code by Zapier in Zaps, if a large number of actions occur within a short time span, they will be throttled (rate limited) to reduce their frequency.
Rate limits exist to ensure Zapier’s and the app’s infrastructure can efficiently serve all customers.
NoteZap steps that use other apps may have different rate limits. Learn more about throttling and rate limits for Zaps.
Rate limits
When using Code steps, Zap runs will be held if they exceed the following limits:
| Plans | Scripts | Code steps |
| Free | You can run scripts of up to 1 second and 128 MB of RAM. | Code steps are limited to 10 requests every 60 seconds. |
| Trial | You can run scripts of up to 10 seconds and 256 MB of RAM. | Code steps are limited to 75 requests every 10 seconds. |
| Professional and Team | You can run scripts of up to 30 seconds and 256 MB of RAM. | Code steps are limited to 225 requests every 10 seconds. |
| Enterprise | You can run scripts of up to 2 minutes and 256 MB of RAM. | Code steps are limited to 225 requests every 10 seconds. |
What happens if I exceed the limit
If a Zap step exceeds rate limits, you can:
- Replay the Zap run. This will retry the steps in your affected Zap runs.
- Add a Delay After Queue step to your Zap, which pauses actions for a specific time before running them. This will spread out the rate at which the Zap runs those actions.
- Adjust the flood protection limit for a Zap. You must have a paid Zapier plan.
