    Hi Lasse Rindom, Calvin from the Product team here!

    Thanks for this request. There are certain dependencies built into some of our schemas, which is why you are unable to deselect the media_history table. With that said, a task is currently in progress to exclude the 'media_URL' and 'thumbnail_URL' fields from the _fivetran_id hash column, which will help reduce MAR for this table. We've found that these fields are updated very frequently and are the main reasons for the increased MAR. 

    I'm marking this request as 'not planned' but will update here once we implement the above change.

    Hi Calvin,

    I see - but I am still a little unsure why it is supposed to have a dependency? It does not affect the ordinary profile schemas, but obviously youd need it for any media schema?

    I would wish we could just deactivate irrelevant data instead of taking everything out due to it being a foreign key for something that I might not need.

    Good to hear about reducing MAR, but still would love to hear your comment on above.

    Lasse Rindom the current dependency is a result of how we originally engineered the Instagram Business connector. With that said, I completely understand your reasoning and this is certainly something we can look into changing in the future. I'll be putting this in the backlog for now but will monitor similar requests to help with prioritization.
