Other: Pause or Cancel Historical Re-Sync
We currently have a Re-sync that has been running for eight days. The sync is requesting an increase in API limit. In order to control raising cost we would like to avoid increasing the API limit. d rather pause OR cancel the sync we see which object the sync hung on so if we could stop this re-sync...start a new resync just for this object our data would be caught up.

-
We would like to get "Cancel Historic Resync" feature as well.

Hi Ardis, I am hoping that the historical sync has concluded now!
Out of curiosity, did you figure out if there was a specific object in this case that was causing the delay?
-
Michael, I'd also love to know why you'd want the 'Cancel Historic Resync' feature? Is this use case similar to the one described above where it was taking too long?
-
@Lindsey.
Yes, this is one of the scenarios.
The other scenarios in the same category:
- Someone made a mistake pushing a historical sync, some of our syncs can last > 20 hours
- Fivetran recommended historic resync and then an alternative better solution
-
Chiming in. I work at a very large corporation. We encountered the exact same failure mode described by Michael Lisin, where the historical backfill was accidentally triggered and it took 20+ hours and we were told that the only thing we could do was to wait. The lack of this feature resulted in a major incident. Our internal teams had to be paged and operationally handle the impact of delayed data including customer outreach.
