Hey, Andrey! The definition of a Sync from our [Doc on Updates](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/faq/updates#what-types-of-updates-are-there) is below: > Syncs: When Glide reloads data from an external data source that has changed (e.g., Google Sheets, Excel), this counts as a Sync. Is the data in your Google Sheet changing? This will cause syncs as Glide will reload the data from the external data source. ---

GS (Google Sheets) GT (Glide Tables) maybe you have extra syncs turned on in Glide settings? so no Today() or Now() functions in GS? then I have no idea… maybe a webhook? or trigger? ---

report: i add a row it’s affect as: 1 add, 1 edit (all in case of app logic) and 2 sync. 🤷‍♂️ then for 20 minutes and no any activity - 1 more sync then add one more row: 1 add, 1 edit (all in case of app logic) and 3 sync it’s looks like add - affect to sync. ---

yes, after adding a row, Glide runs the second sync to update any GS computed columns… I noticed that… i guess, so you don’t need to wait for next auto sync, ---

While you have a Google Sheet open in your browser, it is constantly sending updates to Glide. Does any of your data depend on the current time? ---

hi David. “While you have a Google Sheet open in your browser, it is constantly sending updates to Glide.” does it means that even if the result of calculation same as before - Glide count it as new information and add a sync? “Does any of your data depend on the current time?” no. i remove all formulas. no one any more in GS. (i check all tables, even that not in Glide) but again and again to each activity (add or edit) - appear sync. if no activity (for now) - almost no new sync. (for 6 and half hours appear 2 sync) once i add a row (just a minute ago) emmediately appear +2 sync 😭 ---

and little bit later +1 sync. like a echo ---

Hmm, we will have to check our logs here. We don’t count syncs when no data changes. ---

Please chek it 🙏 🙏 🙏 for the day and one hour: 6 add 47 edit 40 sync - why?! i have no any formulas in GS i close all windows with that GS i pay for 2500 updates, but in fact will use about half of it. 🤯 ---

@user19 you can use loom and share it here. I think you should open a Support ticket and we can work with support team there. [Previous page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/too-much-google-sync/56354.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/too-much-google-sync/56354.md?page=3)
