Do you have anything in the background making changes? Google scripts? ---

Hola! Did you enable the **Extra Sync Mode** feature on your APP? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/b/1b6f9de6c6cf968bc5c7acf5c047941c998367d7.png) If you write to your GS externally (via Zapier, Make, script or API), every write will count as one update when Glide receives a notification from your GS to update its data in APP. ---

Yes We have custom functions, but they only run when a action happens in glide, like checkin and checkout at venue, payment link generation thats it ---

How many apps do you have in that team? And how many total Google sheets are attached to all of the apps? Do any of the app connect to the same sheet or are they all connected to different sheets? ---
