HO

One task took too much time to crawl and ended up spending over 100 dollars

I have ran over 400 crawling tasks till now and I was crawling for something basic like chocolate shops and for unknown reason it ran for 16 hours and ended up spending over 100 dollars for just a few thousand results. Typically we would expect the cost to be around 20 to 30 dollars max. I am not able to figure out what trigger the actor to run for soo long and burn so many credits. I am not worried to run tasks without knowing what cause it. Could you please help me understand what could be the causes after taking a look at it. I have pasted the link below. Thank you.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out! There are a few factors that likely contributed to the extended runtime and higher cost of this run: your locationQuery "United States" is very wide, potentially yielding a large number of results across multiple searches. You've used 5 different search terms, which multiplies the number of searches performed. To prevent this in the future, I’d suggest narrowing your search area to specific cities or regions instead of the entire country and reduce the number of search terms or run separate tasks for each term. You could also set a lower maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch. Hope this helps! Cheers, Andrea
