"Rate limited" or slow to load — why?

Anime metadata comes from AniList's public GraphQL API, which enforces its own rate limits shared across everyone using it. During busy periods you may briefly see a rate-limit message — Zenbu automatically retries, so it should resolve within a few seconds without you needing to do anything.

If it happens constantly rather than occasionally, try again in a minute — and report it if it doesn't let up, since that could point to something else going on.
