Troubleshooting

Shorten a TaxPack report that times out

A host can run out of PHP time or memory before reaching the plugin's 5,000-event ceiling.

Inspect the source record

Estimate event volume and note the exact selected dates, then check server logs for a resource failure.

Build a focused report

Split the period into shorter, non-overlapping inclusive slices and generate each report with the same settings.

Read the result

A complete slice is more useful than a partially generated annual file; TaxPack does not silently return partial totals.

A concrete example

A busy holiday month may need weekly selections even though a quieter month fits in one run.

Avoid this mistaken conclusion

Do not raise limits blindly or omit the failed range from your review. Keep a checklist of completed slices.
