**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2.16.2 My PHP version is: 7.2 **Your problem** My problem is: Campaign actions stuck at pending I was wondering if anyone has recommended values for `--batch-limit``--max-contacts` or `--max-threads` when running campaigns:update and campaigns:trigger crons. I know the docs talk about lowering default values to limit resources used [https://docs.mautic.org/en/setup/cron-jobs#campaigns](https://docs.mautic.org/en/setup/cron-jobs#campaigns) I’m encountering an intermittent problem where sometimes actions aren’t being triggered and left at pending, only thing I can think of are resources, unless anyone has other suggestions or recommendations? These errors are showing in the log: No errors in the log, just some contacts in a campaign are left with pending actions Steps I have tried to fix the problem: ---

Very curious too… I agree that it might be related to some cronjob setting, but my websearch-fu is failing me so far… ---
