Thank you for your reply! My DISCOURSE_AI_TRANSLATION_BACKFILL_HOURLY_RATE is set to 30. ai_translation_backfill_limit_to_public_content is enabled. All of my posts are public and not in any restricted categories.

[afbeelding] joo: I don’t see any evidence of translation jobs running (tried checking Sidekiq scheduled/queues) Were these the jobs you were looking for? [scheduled jobs] Please also do check the queries mentioned above.
