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.

Example of use
