I’m using starter plan and trying to generate embeddings using nodejs “@pinecone-database/pinecone”: “4.0.0”. I’m following exactly the examples from [Generate embeddings - Pinecone Docs](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/inference/generate-embeddings#3-generate-embeddings)

When I’m passing the 5 strings as is in the example the inference.embed call is not responding, the call is hanging until I kill process.  
When I’m changing the array to contain single string, the call is responding within couple of seconds with the expected response.

Is there any limit to the starter plan that limits the number of strings passed in a single embed call? Or is there any known issue that causes the call with multiple strings in input to hung?

Sorry to hear you are having an issue. Would be able to share a code snippet of how you are using it? Thanks!
