this occasionally happens when I write the prompt for an enrichment - a non-stop spiral of code that leads to a timeout or error
This happens when prompts aren't well-defined or tested properly before scaling. Here's how to prevent it: Use the Metaprompter to create optimized prompts from plain English descriptions, avoiding iteration cycles that waste credits. Always test first - start with 5-10 rows, verify output looks good, then scale to 50, then 500. Never run on full tables without testing. Turn off auto-update while building to prevent accidental full-table processing during testing. Use conditional runs to ensure enrichments only run when specific conditions are met, preventing unnecessary processing. Make queries specific and break large requests into smaller batches to avoid processing delays. Testing on small samples first helps identify errors before they spiral into timeouts or credit depletion.
