hi there pipedream people. I just built my first workflow following this guide from Thomas Frank.
Is anyone else experiencing issues?
How much work should I expect to be able to put through this stream using a free pipedream account?
Hi Michael, welcome happy to have you!
Could you describe some of the issues you’re facing? Maybe we might be able to help you through them!
Thanks!
Simply running my test events to prove out the workflow is causing me to exceed my compute time per day. the file I’m using is 845kb ~1:30 duration.
I reviewed this with the team. Unfortunately we cannot lift or reset compute time limits due to abuse of the Free tier.
But you can upgrade to the Basic tier to unlock unlimited compute time per day. But unfortunately we cannot alter this limit or reset it on an individual basis.
Unfortunately some workflows, especially those that process media files will use much more compute time than those that only process text data.
Upgrading to a paid plan is the best way to unlock unlimited compute time as well as unlimited credit usage per day.
Thank you. Is it normal to expect such a short, small file, to exceed the compute time? I’m hesitant to pay for a plan if I’m unsure how larger files will behave / consume limits of compute time
To clarify, the compute time limit only applies to Free accounts
It’s purely to prevent abuse in the builder. There’s no limit on paid accounts
Thank you.
