WEM API rate limits blocking bulk shift import

How come this setting causes 429 errors when pushing 500 shifts via the WEM API?

Running JMeter 5.6 from Singapore. The platform API handles the load fine, but WEM endpoints choke instantly.

Docs mention rate limits, but the exact threshold for POST /api/v2/wem/schedules/shifts is unclear. Getting blocked after 50 requests.

Need to know if this is a hard cap or adjustable for load testing scenarios.

Check your request batching strategy, as the WEM API enforces strict per-minute caps that differ from general platform limits. Splitting those 500 shifts into smaller chunks of 50-100 with a 2-second delay between batches usually clears the 429 errors without needing a rate limit increase.
