Sudden WU Spike - My Customer is Being Overcharged

I suspect that somehow, even though this reusable element wasn’t visible or existing anywhere in the app, it was still triggering the data fetching process. But I have no idea how that was happening.

Then it was definitely still somewhere in your app (perhaps you hadn’t deployed the change that really removed it from everywhere).

We’re trying to help but have very little to go on, so a recursive workflow is the most likely culprit, followed by a Do every X seconds, followed by a nested search, or some combination of all three.

I’ve been professionally developing Bubble apps for over 5 years

For what it’s worth, years of experience doesn’t really count for anything on Bubble. There are people around that have been doing Bubble for six months that are better than people who’ve been around since 2014!

@Efe

the root of the issue was in the fetching data actions within the child elements of a reusable element called “Screen - Analytics.”

So what expression were you using? Were you using display data / display list actions anywhere on your page? It evidently caused 40,000 searches in one hour alone, so something must’ve been triggering that.
