Hello Postman team,

We’re experiencing an issue where the Collection Runner is consistently delayed by 30 seconds before each run. The message says we’ve hit the collection runs limit on our plan, even though we’re just trying to run basic test collections locally.

This delay happens every time and severely slows down our testing workflow. Is there a way to disable or bypass this timer, especially when running collections locally and not via the Postman cloud infrastructure?

Any clarification or help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
