I triggered the website content crawler and it continued to run for 13 hrs after I received a response. Please fix and refund, I have been charged 43 dollars.

Hello and thank you for the interest in the actor!

It looks like the crawler was correctly crawling what it was configured to crawl. It kept on going further to make sure it didn't skip any content and was deduplicating URLs with www. and "naked" domain names. In case you want to skip these, you can explicitly ban one or the other using the excludeUrlGlobs option. Performance-wise: ~6.3 seconds per request is within the standard timeframe for the browser crawler.

So for the next similar crawls please take more detailed configuration into account and you should be fine.

For now I'm going to process the refund request and then close the issue.
