Query limit, timeouts, cost
Closed
Hi,
I have a few questions;
- Is there a certain query limit per time unit (f.e. max 100 queries/hour)?
- Are timeouts something I can expect to happen sometimes and what is the exact behaviour if it happens?
- What will be the usage cost approximately?
For all these questions you can keep in mind that the hypothetical use case is approximately 3000 queries per day (evenly distributed or more concentrated depending on the answer).
Thanks for the response!

Hi 😊
It sounds like you are asking about platform limitations - if you keep within your memory budget (keep the number of concurrent runs low enough) you should not experience issues. I'll note that it is usually (much) more efficient if you can aggregate multiple queries into one run, as actor start takes some time 😌.
Timeout wise I'm not entirely sure what you are asking about 😅 - the actor will start when you ask to, and run until it's done or you run out of usage. Internally the actor may do requests which can time out (e.g. if facebook is down), the actor will automatically retry requests, but if it keeps failing it will eventually give up. If this happens you can see it in the log under an ERROR 😌.
For the usage cost, it's hard to say as it depends on your usage pattern 😅. The best would probably be to try a small run and multiply up. That will be a slightly pessimistic (over) estimate as startup is somewhat expensive, but if Meta improves their blocking in the future, it will get more expensive as we have to do more retries behind the scenes 😅.
I hope this helps, otherwise feel free to reach out again 😊
