Using delay values like 1000 instead of 500.

Setting --insecure to false or omitting it.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting the --iteration-data flag.

The collection file is named 'collection.json', environment file 'env.json', and data file 'data.json'. The HTML reporter exports to 'report.html'.
