Max 100 results / capacity limit? How to increase.

Hey guys, loving the platform. I'm on a free 7 day trial and running some successful scrapes of a major UK supermarket's ecommerce store. I want to scrape their whole pet food section but the runs max out at 100 items. Is there something more general in my plan or settings that I need to change to increase that, or is it something specific to that Actor's dev/ my settings there?...

Needed timeout parameter.

I'm scraping google map review. Actor is 'agents/google-maps-reviews'. I must scrape as much as possible, during limited duration(120s). But timeout is critical. I can specify maxItems, but scraping rate is variable, so I can't decide the propriety value of maxItems. It sometimes scraps 2.9 reviews/s and sometimes 6.3 reviews/s. I have upgraded to "Scale plan", but no effect....

Apify-HELP

Does anyone know a good option (preferably free, but I don't mind paying a little if it's good) that can extract data? I'm looking for a tool that can search specific websites (ideally 5 of my choice) for job offers and then forward the results to Make.com, which will handle the rest of the workflow. ------

Logging Best Practices

Hi. I'm working on my first Actor, to understand capabilities of the platform before I build some real Actors. Can someone explain some recommendations around logging? I have my docker container that writes to console. I can see that in Apify so all good. But, for example, if a customer runs my Actor, will they always see exactly the same output I see? I would expect public runs to not include sensitive data, but I would like to see that when I run myself. E.g an exception thrown or error return...

An example actor which provides guide to how to properly use PPE functionality would be helpful.

Right now, only documentation exist for PPE is https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize#pay-per-event-ppe-pricing-model and that has very li'l information about how Apify expects developers to implement PPE. I have tried looking into SDK reference but there is very li'l you can know. e.g. I want to understand whether some event charged successfully or got bounced. How do I know from ChargeResult. Charge result says, eventChargeLimitReached but what's the meaning of it ? Does that mean next event can't be charged or current event couldn't be charged! https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js/reference/interface/ChargeResult...
