Watch out for

Bright Data may block requests if you exceed their rate limits, so implement exponential backoff logic in your workflow.
Google Sheets has row limits and API quotas that can cause data loss or delays, so archive old data periodically to keep the sheet manageable.
LLM responses can vary in structure which breaks downstream parsing, so enforce a strict JSON schema validation step after the AI node.
Search engine results pages change frequently causing inconsistent data fields, so add error handling to skip malformed rows rather than failing the entire run.
