Practical fixes to avoid throttling:

Zapier: use webhooks instead of polling, batch actions, reduce polling frequency, add retries with exponential backoff + jitter, and upgrade plan if needed.

CI (Copilot/GitHub API): consolidate and cache API calls, use an authenticated service account, honor Retry-After/X-RateLimit headers, cap CI job concurrency, and add retry/backoff logic.

Monitor rate headers and centralize an API client to enforce concurrency.
