bandwith usage trespassed heavily
Hello! I have been using Convex to create a web application that stores a bunch of API data that is referenced in other projects.
Before i continue i want to emphasize that i am no experienced coder or DB handler, i have more or less let Claude Code do the lifting in this specific use case.
Now, in building my appication i have gotten the DB functionality to work as intended, and so came the time to import the entire API database to convex. The DB itself is just a bunch of data exported from chm files and the total size is only 32mb. The problem is that the script that i unfortunatley did not think through had a couple of features that caused a massive bandwith explosion. This is more or less the cascading failure that caused this -
- 32,000 document read limit per function caused cascading failures - Keyword duplicate checking queries scanned entire growing table (29,000+ keywords)
- When scans hit 32K limit → function failures → retry storms → 75GB bandwidth explosion
Now im sharing this for two reasons. Number one, my project is disabled (understandably). But how can i see when the bandwith resets and the project is enabled once more? Second of all, to share a shitty experience caused by too much trust in AI. 😤
