429 Too Many Requests during large dataset pagination

Trello REST API

When retrieving a large volume of cards from a single board, the API requires the use of the limit parameter to bound result sets and prevent payload timeouts. To retrieve the full dataset, a client must execute multiple sequential requests.

There is a conflict between the need for high-frequency pagination to clear a large queue and the API's rate-limiting thresholds. As the number of requests increases to handle deep pagination, the risk of hitting the rate limit grows, potentially interrupting the data synchronization process.

• What is the maximum allowable value for the limit parameter before the API reverts to a default page size?
• How can a client optimize the fields parameter to reduce payload size and mitigate the frequency of requests needed for large boards?
