If you are scheduling workflows or running actions that make changes to the same thing or list of things without any time intervals, you might be running into some unexpected behavior due to a race condition.

A race condition occurs when multiple steps are trying to execute at the same time, leading to an order that might not be intended. In these instances, it's best to add a time interval in between these actions or workflows, even if it's just making sure that you wait a fraction of a second!

Test which time interval works best for your use case to eliminate the risk of race conditions in your app.
