Hi DGrumellon,

I’ve faced similar challenges with the HubSpot API rate limits. Here are a few strategies that might help you manage your synchronization without exceeding the 150 requests per second limit:

1. **Batch Requests** : Group multiple requests into a single batch request if the API endpoint supports it. This can reduce the number of requests made within a short period.
2. **Rate Limiting Library** : Implement a rate-limiting library or function in your code to ensure you don’t exceed the allowed rate. This can queue requests and release them at a controlled rate.
3. **Time-based Throttling** : Introduce delays between requests. For example, if you know you’ll hit the limit, you can pause for a second or two to allow the rate limit to reset.
4. **Asynchronous Processing** : Use asynchronous processes to handle requests. This allows you to better manage the flow of requests and avoid hitting the rate limit.
5. **Error Handling and Retries** : Implement robust error handling to catch rate limit errors and retry the request after a delay. Most APIs return a specific error code when the rate limit is exceeded, which you can use to trigger a retry.
6. **Optimize Data Synchronization** : Review your synchronization logic to ensure that only necessary data is being synchronized. Reducing the amount of data can help lower the number of requests.

By combining these strategies, you should be able to manage your data synchronization more effectively and stay within HubSpot’s rate limits.

Hope this helps!
