- I am on the legacy starter plan - My app does not interact with external data sources (Glide Tables only) - My app does not use workflows - My app does not use integrations - My app does not use Glide’s API I recently had to modify parts of my app (adding, editing, deleting information in the Tables) so I copied it, performed the CRUD’ing, then published it on July 1 while unpublishing the previous version. Since then, it has racked up 2,211 (and counting) updates out of 2,500 and this has never happened before: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/5/3559ccb160aa80e5d99cda98635359273bf67870.png) During the previous billing period, I had 29 updates: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/2/22af9b1951a423d4334cda9e7f97b2bbc988d20f.png) Can someone please tell me where I can look to figure out what is eating them up so quickly? Thank you! ---

CRUD for Glide Tables weren’t always free in older plans… Pretty sure that’s normal for Legacy Starter, unless you are thinking there wasn’t that many CRUD updates. > **[Legacy Pricing](https://www.glideapps.com/pricing/legacy)** ![Screenshot_20260713-172500](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/f/ffec0d720d26923780447d346b917cd3509bbdf5.jpeg) ---

No, I’m aware of the update quota - the issue is how and why they are accruing so rapidly. I got an email two days ago (07/11) that 1,875 updates had occurred and now I’m +350 with no idea why. Something changed in the last 13 days, something that my users are editing or updating, that is causing the Updates ---

Did you maybe add a set column action or something similar on a collection or other component that a user may be clicking often? Or maybe a tab component that sets a value in the table? ---

I’ve had set column actions setup for years and have never accrued this many updates halfway through a billing cycle. And I am not using any tab components, only tab containers. I didn’t do any updating to my app during this billing cycle either, everything was done last month… I’m wondering if this is Glide’s way of (not so) gently pushing me off of a Legacy plan 🧐 ---

Other than suspecting some misplaced actions in your app or a rogue user, I don’t know what to tell you. I also have a Legacy Starter plan, but it’s largely unused at this point. Up until yesterday, I had zero updates accrued for my billing cycle (Jun 18th - Jul 18th). I did a quick test yesterday in regards to your issue. In that test, I made 4 quick CRUD updates in one of my apps. My usage currently shows exactly 4 edits. From my viewpoint I’m not seeing any usage over and above what I would expect. ---

@Jeff_Hager - thank you for the help! Got in touch with Glide Support and it turns out that the app is doing exactly what it’s supposed to, we just had a massive spike in user activity over the last two weeks. ---
