Will the request rate be limited if pyairbyte sends requests locally or through airbyte?

The request rate will be limited whether pyairbyte sends requests locally or through Airbyte. This is because the rate limits are imposed by the APIs of the services you are connecting to, not by Airbyte itself. For example, the Google Sheets API has specific rate limits: - 300 read requests per minute per project - 60 requests per minute per user per project Airbyte batches requests to the API to efficiently pull data and respect these rate limits. This means that regardless of whether you are running the connector locally or through an Airbyte instance, the rate limits will still apply. If you encounter rate limit issues, Airbyte has mechanisms to handle retries. For instance, the Zoom connector has appropriate retries if the rate-limiting threshold is hit.
