Hey @Tim,

I use Groq to generate short articles, and I see that I have just 6k tokens per minute.

Wouldn’t it be a good solution to add a field so that we can add a time for a pause between an item and another?

I can make 1 item, but when Groq goes to the next one, it rarely happens or makes an error, which could be avoided if you wait 1 minute before going to the next key word on the list, and I would say writing 1 item every 70 seconds would be ideal.

or what acha gives idea?

Groq uses its own rate limit based on tokens, SCM automatically follows that limit set.

In detail, groq sends back a message when you make to many calls to wait xx number of seconds.

So you can use groq to its full token limit without any worries, SCM will wait as required.
