Handle rate limits with delays
Your batch job is running, but in production it will call an external API that throttles aggressive clients. Running five batches back-to-back can trigger rate limit errors, so you need to slow the loop without changing the business logic.
You'll import the completed batch workflow and insert a Wait node on the path that feeds back into Loop Over Items so each batch pauses two seconds — enough to observe pacing in the execution log.
