Connector Improvement: Guardrails for unexpected loads
We are at risk of unexpected, high MAR-loads due to our database being occasionally “under construction.” I have blocked new tables and columns from being automatically loaded, and I did add an alert so that I will get an email if we reach a certain dollar amount in a month, but my boss is very keen to set up additional protections so that our load will be automatically paused or cut off if the load jumps up due to tables being reloaded on our side, etc. Fivetran support confirmed there is nothing that will currently directly cut off syncs when there are unexpected spikes and suggested I request that functionality. This seems like a valuable feature for any company with a limited budget that nevertheless wants the functionality Fivetran can offer!

Hi Beth,
This seems like a useful feature. What it your expectation on restarting sync of the "sync cut off"?
Thank you for suggesting!

My team also looking for this feature. At the connector level, add a provision to add couple of daily MAR usage thresholds (Warning and Error level). Expecting a notification, if the daily usage is above warning level and stop the connector, if it is above error level.
Depending on the criticality of the connector/data, user can configure the right thresholds.
