+  - A general pattern would be to create a little bash script that calls the tool with the right parameters on it. You can find an example that I like in the root of this repo named `run_xexe.sh`, but that's opinionated and adjusted to my needs at the time of writing this. Adapt it to your environment or start from scratch if necessary.
   - Remember to use the `--ignore-warnings` flag if necessary to allow large, automated runs without manually interaction.
 - Backfilling
   - If you are loading rates for the first time, you might need to backfill long periods of time manually at first.
   - The tool is flexible enough. You can probably figure out the right commands by taking a look at `How to Use the tool > General Usage`
   - Be careful since you might hit consumption limits set by xe.com.
