1. Set `minMemoryMbytes` and `maxMemoryMBytes` in [`actor.json`](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/actor-definition/actor-json) in your Actor folder. If users use more memory than you counted with in your price estimations, their runs will generate more underlying platform usage and will cost you more, which might affect your profit margin.

2. Always check `ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS` environment variable in your Actor code. Your Actor should never return more than `ACTOR_MAX_PAID_DATASET_ITEMS` results, because the user will be not charged for more and you could start generating losses. This variable is configurable by the user to limit how much the run will cost them.

The link could use GitHub's permalink feature, so that it won't break in the future (or at least not easily):

Unless you expect changes to that code and want the link to always point to the latest code. But in that case the line numbers could change. I don't think GitHub supports linking to a symbol.

Yeah, good point but I don't think we will touch this ever again
