Running Apify Tasks: Memory Limit Issues and Sequential Execution Tips

Avatar of Sean M.Sean M.

I'm trying to run an apify task call from Clay.com. When I run one row manually, it works. But, when I run the column, i get an error (copied at end of this decription). Is there a way (setting in Apify) to implement sequential or staggered runs if multiple Actors are currently running in parallel? Appreciate any help! { "error": { "type": "actor-memory-limit-exceeded", "message": "By launching this job you will exceed the memory limit of 8192MB for all your Actor runs and builds (currently used: 8192MB, requested: 4096MB). Please consider an upgrade to a paid plan at https://console.apify.com/billing/subscription to increase your Actor memory limit." } } Will post in Support, not here, sorry.

    Hi! Thanks for reaching out ! :) Since Clay processes rows independently to Apify, you'll need to upgrade your Apify plan to handle concurrent requests. The current 8192MB memory limit on your Apify account is causing the error when multiple rows try to run simultaneously. Until you upgrade, you can: 1. Process fewer rows at a time 2. Split your data into smaller batches Here's a quick video on how to turn your table off, stop ongoing runs, also run a specific number of rows (bonus setting up row limits/filters) - https://www.loom.com/share/131e2c371a184748a87dc870304955b0
