Hey community,
we would like to use bitwarden for shared system passwords - as supposed. Therefore we would like to automatically generate strong passwords and save them into bitwarden by some scripting. As the setup of a new system in our case means we would create tens of entries I’m running into some troubles with the script.
During some tests I can reproduce it very easily with a small loop, in this case I just create a securenote :
for NUM in $(seq 1 70); do
bw get template item | jq ".type=2 | .name="TestBitwarden #$NUM" | .notes="$NUM" | .secureNote=$(bw get template item.securenote) " | bw encode | bw create item
done
Per single create it takes somewhat between 1 and 2 seconds, so my expectation would be it should finish with 70 entries in ~2 minues.
But it fails somewhere between 20 and 60 entries without any dedicated message:

Anybody here who has seen this or a similar problem?
In the code I found a rate limit for 60 API Calls / min, but for me it looks only the create action is a real API Call to the server and I don’t see how I would create 60 Calls / min in that case.
