When you can press Retry in Rocket
Use this as a simple rule of thumb:- Any plan, View / Collab seat
- Limit: up to 6 Tier 1 requests per month.
- If you see this error after a few imports, you are likely out for the month.
- Retry next month or ask your admin to move you to a Dev / Full seat.
- Starter, Dev / Full
- Limit: up to 6 Tier 1 requests per month.
- Same as above: you will usually need to wait for the next month or upgrade.
- Professional, Dev / Full
- Limit: 10 requests per minute.
- Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.
- Organization, Dev / Full
- Limit: 15 requests per minute.
- Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.
- Enterprise, Dev / Full
- Limit: 20 requests per minute.
- Wait at least 1 minute, then press Retry once.
Pressing Retry repeatedly will not bypass the limit.
Always wait first, then retry one time.
