Seems like delete and import are taking an EXTREMELY long time. Deleting 100 records can take several minutes. I’m also needing to import several thousand records into a table and it’s only through 400 after 30 minutes. That can’t be right?

Also thinking the import process just silently failed… as record count is no longer increasing

Would like some feedback on this… it is currently taking upwards of 30s for a single record to delete in a table. Furthermore, it appears the POST request for this process likely just experiences a timeout and responds with 503 Service Unavailable.

I’m coming up against a hard deadline to have this data in the table and with these issues the app is completely unusable at the moment.

Thanks @Darragh. Yes team did help me out quite a bit and grateful for the support. In the end we had too many rollups, links, calculations on the table and switched everything over to Airtable. I’ve got to say, integration with Airtable is great, much better than Softr, and we’re really happy with how smoothly the overhaul went.
