How to optimize my circuit? (and avoid Terminated messages)

Hi!

I've noticed that with enough API calls, we receive a Terminated message at some point. I'm assuming this happens because in my circuit definition I have a couple of loops that have API calls in them, and as I increase the number of times the loop iterates, I get a Terminated message.

My Question

How can one go about "optimizing" their circuit in order to avoid the Terminated message?

ChatGPT suggests I should create "subcircuits" so the API calls are distributed across more circuits, but I'm not sure if ChatGPT is correct here. In my previous question about a small modulo function #1362, the answer uses the test package (https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/consensys/gnark/test) to run small modulo as its own circuit, should I be doing this same thing inside my circuit using the WithValidAssignment option? But then how can I get the quotient and remainder as frontend.Variable, since I need them later? I have to assign the subcircuits on the fly and get a result from them. At the very least I should receive a Boolean from the subcircuit because at the end of the forloop I use the api.Select() function.

Thank you and I hope my question makes sense, I'm still getting used to the language of coding with zk-SNARK circuits.
