Need Help with Mass Monetization Request

[Simca]

So I may have been writing a program to monetize all videos for a channel on YT and do some other fun technical stuff.

While debugging, I may have accidentally sent a request without a channelID and with no videoIDs. The result is that YT seems to be trying to monetize every single video in the entire network. This normally might not be a large problem, but this network has like a million videos. At the current rate of monetization, the process will take around five days.

Please tell me there is a command to cancel this request or a maximum number of videos per request (at which point this would stop). Thanks.

Edit: No commands in the JS that start with 'action_' seem related, and random things like 'action_cancel', 'action_remove', and 'action_cancel_batch' don't seem to work.

If there's a cap, it's very very very high. :<

wow lol. Theres nothing to stop it but you could try asking your partner manager if they can cancel the bulk action.

Why? Could you just not have used a bulk update to claim them all?

There is no maximum for bulk actions on videos only on claims or assets (500)
You should be able to cancel the process here : cms.youtube.com/bulk_update_status

Not really related to helping you stop this problem but if YT find that you have been using some sort of program/bot to do stuff they could make things a little difficult. Is it not against ToS

No, hardly. It just emulates the standard actions that occur when you push buttons in the browser.

The same kind of code from my program is used to power tens of different applications from other networks, like the one from Maker that automatically tags videos with appropriate things, etc, etc.
