Rate Limiting Issue: 429 Too Many Requests Error

[wsy-w]

I'm developing a Figma plugin that needs to import a large number of variables (600+) using the importVariableByKeyAsync API. However, I'm consistently receiving 429 Too Many Requests errors, even after implementing delays between requests.

Error Details POST https://www.figma.com/api/response_sampler 429 (Too Many Requests)

Reproduction Steps 1.Attempted to import about 600+ variables using figma.variables.importVariableByKeyAsync(variable.key) 2.Even with asynchronous code and adding a 500ms delay between each request 3.Still receiving the 429 error after a certain number of requests

Questions Does the Figma Plugin API have a rate limit for API calls? What are the specific rate limits (requests per minute/hour)? Is there an official recommended approach for handling bulk operations like importing many variables? Are there any batch import methods available that I'm overlooking?

Hi @wsy-w, can you provide an example plugin and design file that reproduces this issue?
