Why an import sometimes waits
Imports have their own AI allowance, 3× the assistant's. At the per-minute limit an import waits a few seconds, then carries on.
- Reading a workbook takes one AI request per tab, plus one to sort the tabs.
- Imports have their own allowance, so they never use up the assistant's messages.
- At the per-minute limit, the import tells you the limit, waits and carries on by itself.
- If the day's import allowance is used up, the tab says so. Try again tomorrow.
- AI Usage shows how much of the import allowance is left.
