Yes, Clay automatically handles API rate limits and timeouts through retries and smarter pacing features that reduce errors and ensure consistent performance. When rate limits are hit, Clay implements rate limiting per row or column to maintain system stability, and you can configure additional rate limits in your enrichment settings if the API documentation specifies limits. Many services also implement retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for timeouts, though Clay's exact timeout retry behavior may vary by setup.
