There was a problem hiding this comment.
I see this but there's also no loop. Shouldn't there be a loop if you're trying to do a backoff? A retry?

Am running into this rate-limiting issue. Anything I can do to help get this across the finish line? |

This CI script runs several API requests in sequence and can result in the rate limit being exhausted on the store. This can be quite disruptive to the workflow when validating and merging several PRs against a single store's development (or production) shop.
This PR adds a new parameter,
shop_app_api_frequencywhich represents the frequency at which requests will be made to the Shopify API. The default value is 2, which is the maximum sustained frequency for non-Shopify Plus shops. The frequency can be overridden for Shopify Plus stores by providing a value of4.Since we must compute the period (i.e., the amount of time to sleep) by solving
(1 / api_frequency), the non-integer math is delegated tobc.While this rate-limiting behaviour adds a few seconds to the execution time of the script, it prevents the issue of exceeding the rate limit (thus, having to cold boot the whole container and script again which takes a rather long amount of time).
