Rate limit exceeded error on high number of Bitwarden CLI calls using Terraform

I’ve tried searching for this error in the Bitwarden docs, the source code for the Terraform Bitwarden provider and in the Bitwarden github repos, but have not found any information on it. I can only assume Bitwarden did not expect people to use tools like Terraform to manage secrets in its product.

Not really an answer on the rate-limit, though getting some further detail on this would be nice especially in the official documentation.

Though as far as secret management goes, you may be interested in joining the waitlist for the Bitwarden secrets manager, which will be specifically for secrets management akin to Hashicorp Vault and other secret management platforms for DevOps to leverage.

As I understand this is being worked on by the team and should be coming hopefully soon, I’m sure they would also be open to any feedback once it’s rolled out on integration with products like Terraform, Ansible, etc.
