Ability to UPDATE multiple glossary values without a Rate limit restriction

Currently, there is a rate limit documented here.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/blueworks-live?topic=authoring-glossary-valuescategory

This restriction is preventing the proper maintenance of glossary values when UPDATES are needed to different categories.

We request this rate limit to be removed to be able to properly maintain/ update values in the glossary.

Note: This rate limit is not impacting on the upload/ creation of new values as in this case a single call for a category can receive an array of values.

    Hi Hector, unfortunately we cannot remove rate limits, this is to ensure performance for our global client base, however, what we could do is look to improve the performance of the API. We can also look into exposing a new API, which will accept glossary updates and queue the requests, it would then carry out these requests when the server is not fully loaded. we could provide a token to show status, we cannot not commit to a turnaround time as it will vary depending on other client loads. Also, it would be useful to understand frequency and number of glossary values Citi are planning. I imagine that this is high frequency, but it would be useful to understand how this works in reality in the client. Let us know if the above suggestion would be worth pursuing
