Are you able to run more than 4 concurrent runs with Apify?

yup are you hitting the memory usage quota in 4 runs? try reducing the memory requirement per run

it doesnt even come close to my memory limit

Will use 2/32gb with 4 runs

Mostly just trying to figure out if this is on Clay's side or Apify

that's weird, i have done multiple runs concurrently in the past and the times it wasn't working was because of the memory limit on apify side (see image)

It's not that it doesn't work or gives an error, it just wont run more than 4 at a time when I run a column in clay

that def doesn't sound right, should checkin with support which actor are you using, i can give it a try to see if it's the same for me

In Clay the entire column will say queued, but in Apify it only shows 4 runs at a time

This is true of other actors as well though

if you're on a free plan - that most likely is the issue because of these limits

Yea I'm not, my max memory is 32gb

Also if I manually start runs from within the console I can do a lot more than 4

damn, asking apify let's see what they have to say, my hunch is some api limit on their end

lmk if you hear anything back here, chatting with both Clay and Apify support and both are saying it's on the other end

btw if it helps, it's still capped at 4 concurrent runs even across multiple actors (when I run 2 separate clay tables that use different actors, its still 4 total)

nope didn't hear anything from them yet - you might want to just try a HTTP API column to run your actor that will rule out any issue on Clay's side ie if you still get 4 runs using HTTP API the issues is for sure not on Clay's side

Do you use Apify through the integration or HTTP?

i use it through the integration but you can run it via the api too as a check

i have done it in the past to pull results and automate a workflow

and if you run a column, how many run concurrently for you?

through the integration

haven't checked that lately - but don't remember runs being a limiting factor for me in the past
