 * Thank you, running.--v/r - TP 18:08, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I misconfigured cron causing it to run every minute in the 4th hour of the day. I corrected the cron.  But it has completed over 30 edits.--v/r - TP 13:23, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It completed over the 30 edit trial for sure - over 200 edits; good to hear you have identified the problem. Please run for a week with the corrected settings and then post back. —  xaosflux  Talk 14:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
