Restforce::AuthenticationError - Login Rate Exceeded

[charlesemarsh]

Hello All,

When doing resource intensive jobs like background updating a whole bunch of accounts, I'm seeing this error message "Restforce::AuthenticationError" and my user is being locked out of salesforce.

After checking the login logs, I can see that I'm hitting the login rate limit and Salesforce is erroring with 'Login Rate Exceeded', slowing it down isn't really an option for me as I need a lot updated quickly.

I'm guessing that I've missed something, but before I drive myself crazy with the 4th night of coding, I thought it was time to ask. Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated.

@charlesemarsh How are you authenticating with Restforce?

[charlesemarsh]

def restforce
    client ||= Restforce.new(
      username: Settings.salesforce.username,
      password: Settings.salesforce.password,
      security_token: Settings.salesforce.security_token,
      client_id: Settings.salesforce.client_id,
      client_secret: Settings.salesforce.client_secret,
      api_version: Settings.salesforce.api_version,
      authentication_callback: Proc.new { |x| Rails.logger.debug x.to_s },
      cache: Rails.cache,
      host: Settings.salesforce.host)
  end

Just the username and password method, nothing special
