Hi I find the Macro Action has been disabled as maximum usage achieved, it didnt mention how many times can be used in the plan also it cant be found in the Learn More. It is frustrating to see the Macro action has limitation as I only bought the plan for this feature. Could you please advise more details about the limitation?

Hi John, thanks for trying out Macro Actions. We released this power feature recently after a number of requests from our customers. We have not published this in pricing page yet as it is currently undergoing public beta testing and undergoing rapid iterations.
Note that Macro Actions are built to address use cases like Run Macro when "Out of Stock" is Detected or getting hard to book events. These use case require fewer number of actions in personal use cases. Businesses may need more actions when they have multiple items to track.
Can you share your use case for macro actions? I will love to understand how your problem can be solved.
Thanks!
THanks Ajitk, I use this Macro feature to book ticket for FIFA2023 World Cup matches in resale platform, I can see tickets are being sold by other fans from time to time on the website but due to high demand when I tried to select the ticket and proceed to buy, it shows not available as it was taken by other buyers, therefore I decided to build the macro to auto select the ticket for me and proceed to buy page, however after the first 20 macro I have used, I still not able to get a ticket. I personally manually try to refresh and click the buying process more than 100 times in last two days. So I feel it is quite difficult to land a ticket manually. Could you please advise if there is anyway the limit can removed, as the match is on Sunday, the limitation can be reverted it back after that as I only need the Macro feature currently to buy the ticket.
@johnshen55 - please send an email to billing@distill.io to accommodate special requests.
Hi all, @ajitk
I am facing the same problem with a more long-term use case. It has been a year.
Are there any plans on removing the limit at least for local monitors and executions?
There is no way that I would continue paying for distill with such a limitation. That is a must-have for me (at least for local executions).
Best,
Marcel
macro actions are only available for local monitors and not for cloud. the usage of macro action is intended for power users using it for professionally.
the starter and professional plans offers limited number of actions to for light to medium usage. for higher volume usage, flexi plan offers 300+ actions per month with no cap on how many can be run in a month. the actions exceeding 300 monthly count incur an on-demand usage fee. we will publish the pricing with more details on the website soon.
if this is something that is not going to work for you, it will be understandable. thanks for sharing the feedback.
