ESXi free - possible to use Proxmox import wizard? (lemm.ee)

Not finding a lot of info on using Proxmox import wizard to extract VMs from an ESXi free license host. I can add the host as storage and see the VMs but it looks like it's failing afterwards due to possibly some kind of rate limit error? But I know the free version API is either closed or not available. Any ideas? Thanks!

For anybody considering using the Proxmox ESXi Import Wizard, you should watch this video.

Personally, I don't watch tech videos. Give me the documentation and let me go. Well, the folks at Proxmox made the unusual decision of releasing the full and complete directions on using the Import Tool via this video. I don't know of any other official source where you get the full intricate details of an optimal virtual machine import and conversion to VirtIO.

Ya, it sux. Watch the video anyway.
