About Timestamp in Dataset

I just noticed something. When we have timestamp data in the dataset, the console dataset viewer automatically displays it in the current (browser) timezone. Is this correct? Just want to confirm.

Apify MCP memory parameter

Hello, trying to build prototypes using MastraAI and MCP servers. I was able to successfully integrate via stdio, but am lacking the possibility to either instruct agent or set in env the amount of memory actor run should take. It will help me overcome my memory usage limits. Is there such possibility and I am overlooking it, or is there planned st like that? Thanks

Subscription refund

Hello. Unfortunately, I no longer need apify's power for the near future, but unfortunately I did not cancel my subscription plan and was charged $59, while I am sure that I will not use apify for the next month. This amount is quite significant for me and I really would not like to lose it. Can you initiate a refund and cancel my subscription? It was renewed just a few hours ago and not a single dollar was spent from the account I really hope for your support, thank you...

Question on PPR Actor

Should the PPR actor results go in the default dataset, or can they be saved elsewhere? Since this is a monetized actor, will I still receive income if the data is stored outside the default dataset?
