About a month ago we had a ton of tasks run that were triggered by column O of a Google sheet being updated. They all just ran again right now for some reason and it shows the row and column in the task history of pabbly, but when I go to the google sheet, it has not been changed. How could this have happened and what can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future? I also can't figure out how to upgrade my account b/c its not in the normal account section and it seems like it wants to buy me a whole new account. Can customer service give me some task credits? Please help!

Tons Of Tasks Executed For No Reason And My Account Is Now Out of Tasks!!!

Also, Column O is the trigger column and the date and time is recorded in the column by the script. The script can only write the current date and time and there have been no other changes in the 0 column, or anywhere on the spreadsheet for that matter so I'm not sure why this happened. See picture below.

Hey @nicheweb !
We have added the task back to your account,
Further checking on your concern, it seems the data from your Google Sheet have been updated on the trigger column which has led to vast task consumption for the workflow.
Please Note- any updates done in the trigger column of the Google Sheet will trigger the workflow.
We would suggest you to create a new workflow and make sure that the trigger column is handled manually(not by any script or formulas) so as to avoid any further uncertain task consumptions.

Ok, I don't understand how they all could have been updated however as the update in the trigger column is the date and time the field was updated. I really want to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future.
