Show actor log messages to the apify customer?

At a glance

The community member is seeking feedback on what to log to users and customers of their actor. They currently log progression through each page and any data retrieved, but believe this is unnecessary. The community member wants to inform users of the progression and whether the actor is running properly, but is unsure what would provide the most value.

In the comments, one community member congratulates the original poster on advancing to level 9. Another community member suggests an approach to save useful stats instead of logging a message for each item/set of items scraped, and mentions that the code is in the Solution of the lesson. There is no explicitly marked answer.

I would like to get some feedback on what to log to users and customers of my actor.
At the moment I log progression through each page and any data retrieved but I think this is unnecessary.
I just want to inform the user the progression and if it is running properly but I am unsure what would provide the most value.

What do you do for your paid actors?

If you don't want to log a message for each item/set of items scraped, you can instead follow this approach:
