title: "#9146 [Shopify] Fix GraphQL rate limiter under-waiting after elapsed time"
summary: The Shopify connector's GraphQL rate limiter was waiting incorrectly when time had elapsed between requests, causing it to re-issue requests too early into the throttle window. The fix anchors the wake time to the current moment plus remaining wait time instead of incorrectly subtracting the elapsed gap twice.

[Pull request](https://github.com/microsoft/BCApps/pull/9146) · merged into `main` (BC30) on 2026-07-07 by onbuyuka · 2 files (+27 -2), 1 AL · fix · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## What changed

- Rate limiter waited too short when time had passed since the last Shopify response, which caused avoidable GraphQL throttling on high-volume shops
- The wait time already accounts for elapsed time, but anchoring it at LastRequestedOn subtracted that elapsed gap a second time
- Wake time is now anchored at CurrentDateTime plus the remaining wait
- Removed the redundant earlier NextRequestAfter := CurrentDateTime assignment
- Added a test that checks the limiter waits for the remaining time after some time has elapsed
- Behaviour changes for users or extensions.
