Results incomplete

Closed

First, I am intrigued by '144.7k of 230.2k handled'. Does it mean it did not handle all the results?

Second, by looking at the results, it is not complete from 2021-01-01. For example, for https://www.instagram.com/iguana_roma/, the data only went back to 2024-03-08. However, a separate run only with iguana_roma shows that the scrapper can get the fully history back to 2023-06-08. (https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/gAwwfa4d2EoUcRbMz#output)

I wonder if this incomplete results could be driven by the point 1 I mentioned. Would it be helpful if I do not scrape so many URLS in one single run?

Hi!

In your run logs 2024-12-27T04:17:14.732Z WARN CheerioCrawler: Monthly usage hard limit exceeded (retrying 1/3) and 2024-12-27T11:04:00.405Z INFO Reached max data limit, aborting the run - means that platform detected usage limit and run was stopped before all the available results scraped.

Scrapping by a smaller number of profiles per run will probably be more manageable. I will ask the support team if credit compensation for the failed run is available.
