@werewolf_ninja FWIW, you should be getting much better throughput than 5000 documents every 30 minutes. From what I can see, we should be allowing up to 3000 documents per minute, assuming you are using a paid App Search account.

You can use the following headers in the response for reference:

```auto
X-RateLimit-Limit → <number of documents allowed in 1 minute>
X-RateLimit-Remaining → <number of documents remaining this minute>

```

If you are rate limited and receive a 429 response, you can check the `Retry-After` header which will tell you how long to wait before performing a new request.
