Clickup MCP limits in Claude Code

Trying to figure out where a rate limit is coming from.

I'm using the Clickup MCP connector in Claude to bulk-create and tag tasks. Built a board of ~87 tasks and started attaching tags, and after roughly 120 calls everything started failing with:

"Rate limit exceeded. Please wait 1432 minutes before trying again."
errorCode: RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
retryAfter: 69793.65

That's a ~24 hour lockout, and it blocks reads as well as writes. Next day I got about 60 more calls through before it locked again with a fresh ~24h counter.

My understanding is ClickUp's own API limit is per-minute (~100/min) and resets almost immediately, and 429s come back with ECODE + X-RateLimit-Reset headers, not a "wait N minutes" message. The retryAfter being a float also smells like the integration computing it locally rather than passing something through from you.

So: is a ~24h rolling cap anything ClickUp enforces on API tokens or OAuth apps, or is this purely the integration's own throttle? Just want to know whether to raise it further or accept it as a limit... which would suck and make Clickup unusable in an AI workflow.

Anyone seeing something similar?

Visibility of Personal Priorities on a Dashboard view?

We've recently discovered the feature where you can click on a task's priority and assign it to a particular person's priority list... which then links to the person's priority list (screenshot 2).

This has become quite useful for our team to have visibility of what everyone is working on next in order.

However, I can only seem to be able to access this through the long flow of: List > Priority > person > priority list.

Was wondering if there is a way to show this priority list per person on a Dashboard. That would be really good as a quick team visibility and what everyone is working on.
Can't find a way to add it to a Dashboard, or similar view.

This feels like a weird change.

Today, the email notifications are showing in my mailbox as from [My Company name] instead of [Clickup Notifications].

so now my Mailbox is just a list of [My company name]
and I can't clearly see what's Clickup or others.

anyone else seeing this?
is it a setting on our side or a strange choice from the Clickup team?

- Bottom 4 are from last week
