Support for a larger number of users in the same run
Can you increase the limit for the number of usernames? Our goal is to track the number of stories of a large number of users daily for a period and we are trying to understand the best way to do it, given the limitations.

Hello, we will increase that to 10 in the next release.
Livnetata
Great, thanks! Is the 60 usernames per hour also a limitation that is a must or can it be increased to 120?

We have just released a version that accepts up to 10 usernames per run. As for the other limitation, it remains the same: 60 runs per hour, allowing a maximum of 600 usernames to be processed per hour.
Livnetata
That is enough for our needs. Thanks!
Livnetata
Hi, you said you allow 600 usernames to be processed per hour, but you blocked me before that. What am I missing?

Hello Livnetata,
The rate limit is based on the number of runs, not the number of usernames. I double-checked, and it's 60 runs per hour. Please share your run to check.
Livnetata
So this is weird because I’m not running more than 14 runs per hour. I can share a screenshot if needed.

Please share your run
Livnetata
Here you go. The last run (top row) was blocked and each checked 10 usernames.
I have other similar examples.

That's weird ! In our dashboard you have reached 60 requests. we will manually reset your quota until we investigate more this issue.
Livnetata
Thanks. Hope you will figure it out soon.

Once you reached the limit, you have to wait 1 hour. That was the problem. I have updated the rate limit policy to allow 1 run per minute instead of 60 runs per hour. That should fix this issue. Thanks for reporting this issue.
Livnetata
So the problem persists. I’m starting a run every 3 minutes but got blocked after 10 runs. Any suggestions?
![DataVoyantLab avatar](https://apify-image-uploads-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/TXnTkOuNcI2390o1x/8s9POJeyLzWeD7vZg-pixelcut-export.png)
I have scheduled a task to run every 3 minutes, and no issues have been spotted.
Livnetata
this is exactly what I did - thanks for responding and making this work.
