Bucket Strategy

For continuous processing, throttle your requests to match the refill rate (2 requests/sec) to verify you never hit a 429 error.

Why it's important

Shopify's API rate limits can be tricky to navigate. Understanding your 'leaky bucket' capacity helps you optimize bulk operations without hitting 429 errors or getting throttled.
