429 Too Many Requests error on Payload API

[elvis-chong-innoqb]

I’m currently using Payload version 2.30.1 and have developed a custom module for data migration. This module processes a large dataset containing over 1,000 records. However, I’ve encountered an issue where, after migrating around 200+ records, the API starts returning a 429 Too Many Requests error.

This is happening even though I’m running the application on localhost and haven’t enabled any rate limit configuration in my server.js. I was wondering if there is a way to turn off or bypass the rate limit for the Payload API during data migration.

Any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

There is a rate limit set in the default config:

See the rateLimit property on the payload config.
