ConnectTimeout: How many requests per second are there?

[congvmit]

Hi team,
I am developing a data pipeline to collect sale data from Shopee with python-shopee.
The problem is that the request is frequently timeout even I set the timeout up to 20-30s.
I search for the number of requests per second from Shopee API documents, but cannot find any info related to this.

Anyone have ideas to deal with this? It is about me or server side?

There is no clear explanation. From my experience it is about the server side, they would limit them around 1,000 requests per second(RPS) and it would be succeed. But if you continue with the same RPS, they will reduce the speed like 500, 250, 125 and so on until zero.

I fixed this issue by using a chunk request at 100 RPS. Absolutely, this slows down my tasks. I had tried with 200 RPS but it failed.
