It also makes sense that it’s crashing, because @andrei reported the duplicates were at the bottom of his sheet, and so it crashed before reaching auto-sort after fill.

@heather

I do know that the 6 hour timing is decided by when you toggle on the Auto Fill so you could sort of control when it’s going to happen (and know/predict) by toggling the Auto Fill off then on at a time where the 6 hour intervals are less likely to disrupt your work in the sheet. E.g. If I toggle it on at 10:30 AM I’d expect it to run around 4:30PM, 10:30PM, then 4:30AM.

In my testing, Auto-Fill now runs during the 12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm hours, independent of what time I toggle Auto-Fill on.

I personally like the 6am fill to focus my time-driven scripts around and it’s also closer to when the Hello Money email comes out, so that email is more in sync with the data in my sheet while I’m sipping my morning coffee and checking status

So far, I haven’t noticed a case where Fill kicks off while I’m interactively doing something in the spreadsheet. More frequent fills hopefully means faster fills, although I don’t get enough daily transactions (handful at most) and don’t have very many total transactions (~5300) to be a very good stress test

@heather

I don’t believe we changed anything with the dates/Date Added so I expect it will continue to work the way it has been working, but I’ll double check.

I checked on my side and Date Added looks good (both Transactions and Balance History sheets). As you said, it’s unchanged, plus I confirmed that the Date Added date-time is the local time from the spreadsheet’s settings, and not UTC

New Improvements to Tiller Money Feeds Key Feature

Originally published at: New Improvements To Tiller Money Feeds Key Feature - Tiller We’ve been working hard to address some issues with the fill process in Tiller Money Feeds. The biggest one being timeouts for some customers using Google Sheets when trying to fill a very large amount of data combined with an already large data set and complex dashboards. This “fill crash” has been a challenging bug for many of our long time customers for a while and we’re excited to announce that we belie…

I would love the option to manually schedule when the account refresh and auto-fill happen.

For example, my main bank processes their transactions around midnight-2am. However, there’s no guarantee Tiller refreshed after that time, so I end up manually refreshing and then running the fill process on the extension every morning to make sure I have the latest data. If I could schedule the refresh to happen at 5am, then autofill at 6am, that would eliminate two manual steps, and everything would be ready for me when I wake up.

@alan.heatherley that would be ideal! But there currently isn’t a way to do that. Refreshes are institution dependent and the schedule is whatever the institution and our data provider have agreed upon.
