Is rate limiting a problem when uploading many calendar entries at once?

Hi, a few years ago I recall hitting an error from google where the 'rate limit' of requests to google was exceeded. Does anyone else know if this is still an issue? All I could find is an old issue #135

I'm happy to investigate again myself (I would very much like to try out. the 'agendaupdate' feature) and report back if no-one is aware of any issues (e.g. am talking about bulk update of about 1-200 ics entries).

Google APIs have some rate limiting naturally but I haven't seen any specific complaints. I wouldn't be surprised if some bulk operations can hit limits or if there could be some sharp edges in how the rate limiting is handled in gcalcli that could be improved.
