Special conditions of use

The Google Sheets API has a limit of up to 60 read-requests per user per minute. To ensure that the action does not immediately generate an error when the limit on the number of requests is reached, the action includes a loop operation that will resend requests within a minute.

• If the request is completed in that time, the action will complete successfully.
• If the request cannot be sent in this time, the robot will terminate with an error.
