Topic on Talk:XTools

Now that my edit count is over 500K, I can no longer access my details. I saw a thread below in which @MusikAnimal: had indicated that they were planning to bump the maximum count higher. Is such an update still in the works?

I have bumped it to 550K for now. I can't promise it will stay that way. Further down the road, we may require users be logged in to query for users with a high edit count, and put it through a job queue so as not to disrupt the performance of other users (similar to how Quarry works). That's a lot of work, though, and I don't see it happening anytime soon. Until then, we have to have some sane limit or else querying for accounts such as your own will disrupt every other user of XTools. Frankly though, you should be proud of this. Very few editors ever become as prolific as you have! :)

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I saw in another thread that someone else was able to get their information via Quarry, but I was not able to figure out how that site works.

My edit count has climbed over 600K, and I have not been able to access my details for a while. Would it be possible to bump up the max count again?

Right now, probably not… We haven't gotten a large number of query timeouts, but we have seen an increase in the "XTools is currently overloaded" errors, which super bad because that means the service is down for everyone. This issue only increases when we permit longer-running queries. There are a few things we can try to mitigate this which I will look into soon. I'll update you here when I've gotten a chance to look more into it. Apologies for the inconvenience!

That's totally fine. I certainly don't expect you to jeopardize the entire service just for me. I will appreciate anything you are able to do, but there's no hurry whatsoever.
