    Hey Noah! Yes, this timeout is expected with larger lists since finding people at companies is quite resource-intensive. The good news is there's a simple workaround - breaking it into smaller batches of around 100 each will help process things more smoothly. Or you can retry the full search, which often works on subsequent attempts. Let me know.

    Ah so there’s nothing to do? It’s a too big list to do small batches

    Hey Noah! Right there's only two options here. I've also flagged this to our engineers so they are aware of this but for now there's only two solutions. The Split Strategy (Recommended) where you break it by location by views or you group similar values (e.g. industries, titles) by views It can be 20,000, 30,000, 10,000, etc. Anything that will lower the size of the search. But All those values as a whole without views should be working but that might require a few retries Let me know.
