If I have a column using Glide AI, then every row in the table that gets added will consume an update for the AI column when added, correct?

When I add a new row in the data editor, I see the spinner in the Glide AI column for all rows which suggests that all rows are refreshing whenever the table is updates, e.g. when a new row is added.

Is this correct? It seems like my updates got used up pretty quickly and I wondered if this is why. Not sure if there is a way to check when an update is being used.

More context:

That is a lot of Call API usage in a few days. I have a column that uses call API and I wonder if every row in the table uses an update every time a new row is added to the table.

I fear that this is the case. Might have to get a confirmation from @NoCodeAndy .

All good, rebuilding app to use actions vs. columns with AI. At least we know now 🙂

The data editor shows the spinners often but that does not mean updates are being used.
