Timeout error
Open
Some of my actor runs are failing with error: TIMEOUT! after about 5 minutes.
The actors are configured with a timeout of 2 hours. Seems like this Timeout error is not related to the Apify actor timeout.
Sorry for the inconvenience. While an Apify Actor is capable of running many tasks at the same time (concurrent tasks), we’ve deliberately set a limit of 3 concurrent tasks at any one time (per-user)
This is to ensure we don’t bombard the target website with too many requests at once.
Why is this important? Web scraping can have an impact on a website’s performance. Sending too many requests too quickly can:
-
Slow down the website for regular users.
-
Trigger security mechanisms like rate-limiting or bot protection (e.g., Cloudflare).
-
Lead to the scraper being temporarily or permanently blocked.
By limiting the number of concurrent tasks, we’re being considerate to the website’s infrastructure. This helps maintain scraping reliability, avoids disruptions, and ensures ethical data collection.
How it works:
-
Up to 3 tasks will run at the same time.
-
Any additional tasks will be placed in a queue and will wait their turn.
-
Tasks in the queue are processed at intervals of 60 × 5 seconds (5 minutes).
-
If a task waits too long without starting, it may time out.
