Hitting rate limit (without hitting it)

Just some ideas... The Hetzner docs are also talking about some response headers, for getting insight about existing rate-limits. Did you tried it in debug mode (export TF_LOG=DEBUG)? Maybe terraform plan -parallelism=1 can also be worth a shot. Don't know how complex it would be to use different Auth-API-Tokens for each domain, as rate limits should be counted per Auth-API-Token, right? When I correctly understand this provider, it retrieves each record individually. There is another API request possible for getting all records in one call(GET /records). But therefore the provider has to be altered I think.

Sorry for the late reply. We asked Hetzner about the issue last week and just got a response, that they could increase the rate limit. We'll try to go with a higher limit and see if it helps. That would be the most appropriate solution for managing a lot of records without the need to adapt the provider.
As for the debugging, I'll enable debugging in the CI if I have a minute and see what it tells. Thanks for the hint!

Hetzner responded and said that they increased rate limit for us to 1k req/minute. Now it works for us.

I guess there is nothing that has to be fixed on the provider, so I'll close the issue.

For everyone who manages a lot of records and gets the same problem: just open a ticket for Hetzner and ask them to increase the rate limit.
