https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-2-6-0-beta5-release-notes/168756 Process bulk actions in batches Previously if staff attempted to bulk update a large number of topics, the process could time out. We now process bulk actions in smaller batches to avoid such errors. [image] Does it affect topics splitting? Since my migration, I have a 30000 replies topic that I can’t split because it timeouts.

Good question, I’m not sure. I don’t think so, but @gerhard should be able to confirm. Do you have a bug/support topic here on Meta for the topic split timeouts?

Various actions on megatopics would cause timeouts on my forum: 502 errors when renaming large (by topic count) categories, including renaming a category. I’ve tested these actions on a lot of categories, the action durations correlated with the number of topics/posts from the categories I had to rename a few categories by updating the database fields from the command line instead of editing the category settings inside Discourse’s interface. I have been able to split the megatopics after a lot of tries, but not the largest one though I didn’t try since my migration 1 month ago.

Does "Process bulk actions in batches" apply to splitting topics?

No, it doesn’t affect topic splitting (moving posts). Only bulk actions like closing topics, changing category,…
