Amazon Settlement Download Limit: “Please Try Again in 15 Minutes”

Learn why you may see a delay when downloading Amazon settlements into Klavena and what you can do when you hit Amazon's API rate limit.

🚧 Why You’re Seeing This Message

When integrating your Amazon seller account with Klavena, you may encounter the following message:

“The Amazon API limits how many settlements you are allowed to download at a time. Please try again in 15 minutes.”

This occurs because Amazon enforces rate limits on how frequently third-party apps like Klavena can request settlement reports through its Selling Partner API (SP-API). These limits are in place to maintain performance and server reliability on Amazon’s side.

🕒 What You Should Do

If you hit this limit during integration or re-import:

  1. Wait 15 minutes.
    Amazon’s rate limits are usually on a 15-minute or rolling hourly basis, so simply waiting before retrying often resolves the issue.
  2. Try importing again.
    After the cooldown period, Klavena will be able to request the next batch of settlements.
  3. Avoid repeated retries too quickly.
    Repeated attempts before the rate limit resets may extend your wait time.

🔄 What Klavena Does Automatically

  • Klavena is designed to respect Amazon's API rate limits and will automatically space out requests to avoid triggering this message unnecessarily.
  • If you’re importing multiple months or years of settlement data, Klavena will fetch them in small batches over time.

✅ Best Practices

  • If possible, complete your initial Amazon-Klavena integration during off-peak hours, when fewer background processes may be running.
  • Let Klavena finish the import process without interruption—even if it takes a bit longer due to rate limiting.
  • If you consistently experience delays, contact support and we’ll verify whether there’s an ongoing issue or elevated API traffic.
