In https://simfin.readme.io/reference/rate-limits, the FREE account api request limit is: 2 requests/second.

However, unless there is something wrong with the python "requests.get" package that makes it do multiple url requests before showing the result, it appears there is another hidden limit around 600 requests per hour or so before the api key is timed out?

And so, if that's true, i think it would be nice to document it on the api rate limit page, because 600 requests per hour is just about 0.17 requests / seconds, or 1 request every 6 seconds to avoid never getting timed out.
