Slower loading times or sync delay errors for dimensional metrics attributed by pin
Dimensional metrics attributed by pin may experience slower loading times or temporary sync delays because, unlike non-dimensional metrics, they require separate requests for each individual pin, with a fixed rate limit of 55 requests per minute. Accounts with a high number of pins are more likely to encounter syncing issues due to the volume of data being processed. To reduce delays, we recommend minimizing frequent date range changes within a single session, as this can further impact loading performance.
