Pulumi Community

Hello, I'm new to Pulumi CLI and I'm using the `pulumi-snowflake` package for the first time. I'm using the <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/import/#bulk-import-operations|bulk import operation> to import my snowflake state. Even though I execute the command once where I try to bulk import say 10 resources, each resource will authenticate my user twice (once for the preview and another for the import), so a total of 20 authentication sessions are opened via my external browser and I end up hitting a rate limit.

How do I get pulumi to keep one client connection alive?

Looks like the issue stems from terraform-provider-snowflake <https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/terraform-provider-snowflake/issues/1700>

are there any other ways to authenticate? that seems really odd that your authentication isn't cached somewhere

Looks like you can auth via a few methods. <https://youtu.be/_PYRlXieg-E?si=gPvk9HN9IfywexAX&amp;t=73>

Thanks Doug, I ended up switching to another auth method
