Hi,
I’d like to ask a question on the Loop Over Items node. If a batch fails during loop (say due to overwhelming an API despite using a Wait node - e.g. incorrectly setting an insufficient wait time, and still managing to cause a 429 error), does that batch proceed to the done state, does the loop continue with the next batch, does the loop continue with the same batch (retries), or does it fail silently altogether?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
If a node inside the loop fails with a 429, Loop Over Items itself does not automatically retry that batch or move on to the next one.
By default an unhandled node error stops the workflow execution.
If you want to handle rate limits configure retries on the API/HTTP Request node .
Ideally with enough delay-backoff. Then the loop only continues once that request succeeds.
So basically:
429 - retry/error handling - success - next batch
The Wait node helps prevent the 429, but it doesn’t provide retry logic by itself.
