make will remove cycles from scenarios on october 1, 2026 starting from this date, expect the following changes the cycles per run setting in scenario settings > advanced settings and related settings are no longer available all scenario runs complete one cycle scenarios that previously ran several cycles per run process the same data across more runs instead until october 1, the cycles per run setting is no longer visible in new scenarios it's still available in existing scenarios that had more than one cycle configured if your scenarios were among the few using more than one cycle, make will email you with a list of affected scenarios if you didn't get an email, none of your scenarios are affected what's a cycle? a cycle is one pass through all modules in a scenario when you set multiple cycles, a pass repeats several times within a single scenario run, pulling data from the trigger module until no data records are left waiting for example, your trigger module is set to process 5 emails per run, but your inbox has 10 unprocessed emails with one cycle, two scheduled runs return all emails with two cycles, one run does you set the number of cycles per run with the cycles per run setting in scenario settings > advanced settings this setting only applies to scheduled scenarios with trigger modules that have a field limiting the number of records per run instant scenarios and scenarios with search or action trigger modules don't use it why make is removing cycles few makers used cycles, and the setting was more confusing than helpful in most scenarios that used more than one cycle, multiple cycles rarely took effect removing cycles takes a rarely used option from scenario settings and simplifies the engine that runs your scenarios fewer moving parts mean fewer edge cases and more predictable runs other affected settings on october 1, 2026, the following changes also take effect in tools https //help make com/util settings that tie a value's lifetime to a cycle increment function reset a value no longer includes the after one cycle option set variable and set multiple variables the variable lifetime no longer includes the one cycle option timeline for the change here's what to expect, and when from now until october 1, 2026 , the cycles per run setting is hidden in all new scenarios and in existing scenarios with the default value of one cycle the setting is still available in scenarios with more than one cycle configured from october 1, 2026 , the cycles per run setting and the settings listed in \<font color="#ae213a">\<other affected settings\>\</font> are no longer available in make, and all scenario runs complete one cycle what you can do your scenarios continue running without any action needed from you most scenarios behave the same as before if your scenarios have multiple cycles configured, you can in the trigger module settings, increase the maximum number of results processed per run in schedule settings , shorten the interval so scenarios run more often and process less data each time contact support if anything is still unclear, reach out to customer care https //www make com/en/get help with your questions
