Hi Ales, Thank you for the feedback. To avoid the limit recommend that you break up very large tasks (such as uploading thousands of keywords) into smaller batches that can be run over multiple days. We understand this is not always possible, and we are investigating other solutions. Another workaround for now would be to use the v13 API for one-off, large tasks and start migrating to the v2009 API for the more common, smaller tasks.
