Soooo... an automated script flagged them. they get themselves unflagged, and proceed to do the same thing immediately. without any real confirmation that they wouldn't be flagged again.
They've basically been flagged as abusing the system multiple times, and they're surprised they had to kick up a storm to get themselves reactivated again?
Not to mention, that process they need to run every couple of months, that takes 1s, but they still need to parallelize over a bunch of vms, that's weird and sounds like something that needs to be rearchitected at the very least.
My interpretation of that was that the batch job takes 1s per row or something like that rather than 1s total. It obviously wouldn't make sense to spin up 10 nodes to turn a 1s job into 10 0.1s jobs.
