API endpoint for getting multiple Albums (with tracks) from multiple Artists

My web app is using the Spotify API to get all of the albums by multiple artists.

I have to call https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-an-artists-albums

The number of artists can easily be in the hundreds.

Because (somewhat unintentionally) my app is optimized for concurrency, it tries to make a lot of these requests at the same time and the rate limit cap is reached.

This cap is reached when its just me testing it - 1 user. I know I can apply for my rate limit to be increased but I think the main problem isn't the rate limit but that I can't get the albums from multiple artists in a single call so the app is making more requests than it should have to.

I understand that there might be a limit to how many you can request at once. It's really frustrating that I'm going to have to intentionally throttle my app because of this.
