I like open archiver, but it uses too many resources from my server. Because of that, I use an automation to turn open archiver on, make an API request to force sync the ingestions, wait until all finish (go back to status active), and turn open archiver off, every Saturday.

The problem is that I have 3 ingestions, and never all of them have the status active (after successfully archiving the emails), so my automation doesn't know when to turn the open archiver off. They change from active to syncing and vice versa constantly.

I think it's because of the automatic sync. I tried setting the env var SYNC_FREQUENCY to 0 0 1 1 * so that it would not sync too often, but it didn't work.
