What are you trying to achieve?
I am trying to have notifications sent via Telegram and Email based on records that receive a comment within AirTable.
Steps taken so far
I have it set up currently where it’ll cycle through all the records within AirTable that are not marked as complete (a filed in AirTable base). Currently there are about 250 record that meet that criteria, so each time it runs, its using a lot of my monthly operations, and we were hoping to have it run every 5 minutes or so.
Is there something I can do to limit how many it is taking up?

Hi @Johngregtx, timing will not limit your operation consumption. Well it will, but I’d advise if you want to limit operations - use Bundle position from Search records module as a filter. For example instead of working on all 250 records with the criteria, it’ll work for 100. This will effectively reduce operations per run and you’ll most likely have regular consumption of operations, but I’m not sure if your actions will be complete and have any effect on reducing TOTAL number of operations during the day or month.
If you really want to work on time aspect, just change scheduling of the Scenario to every 5 minutes. What you’re trying to do on the photo is not the same as what you’re writing in your post, though. If you want to run the scenario once, but limit it to a 5 minute runtime period, your filter might work. You’ll need to put it BEFORE the api call, declare a variable of ‘starting time’ before search records, and then filter before api call ‘now’ is later than addminutes(‘starting time’;5). I think ‘now’ will be reevaluated at each operation, so it does not describe ‘starting time’.
