Hi i have a basic auth username and password in JSON as follows (close to 100).

```auto
{

    {
        
        "username": "user1",
        "password": "pass1"

    },

    {
        
        "username": "user2",
        "password": "pass2"

    },

    {
        
        "username": "user3",
        "password": "pass3"

    }

}

```

When I send an HTTP request its overloads the server. Could I add some sort of timeout or wait before going for a second request?

Thanks,

---

use a delay node (before the http request) set to "rate limit" mode to space them out.
