Hey,

thanks for the report. The actor had to scrape large amount of requests/map segments: combination of zoom: 19 and your locationQuery generated 69185 map segments (the searched location is split into map segments to get more data, see this article for more information). You also entered 5 categories/search terms, which means actor scrapes each map segment 5 times, 1 for each category. Because these 5 categories are very similar (they give you mostly the same results), actor wasn't finding any more new places at the end so it was just burning the credits.

I'd suggest to add the following to your input:

"searchStringsArray": ["gas station", "fuel supplier", "petroleum products company"]

With this option, the actor will search only with these 3 search terms and will scrape only places that have one of the 5 categories. Also consider using the default zoom (actor determines the zoom based on the size of the searched area). A large portion of your area is desert so using zoom: 19 might be wasteful.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
