+20I've been trying to find out what counts towards my automation run; however, either I can't find it, or I'm constantly overlooking the something.
Basically I just want to have a solid grasp on what adds towards my automation limit?

In Airtable, an automation run is when the automation is triggered. So the number of actions in the automation doesn’t matter. Loops within an automation don’t matter. Note that if an automation is triggered, but no actions are run, it still counts towards your total.
This is different from other automation systems.

Thank you @kuovonne, this was what I kind of hoped for, but couldn't find a place to get it verified. I was a bit confused as you mention fx Make does not count by triggered runs alone.
So I guess it also means a trigger set for a scheduled time will always just consume one run regardless if there is zero records or thousands of records to do something to?

Re: So I guess it also means a trigger set for a scheduled time will always just consume one run regardless if there is zero records or thousands of records to do something to?
Correct. Such situation would consume one run, regardless of the amount of actions and records updated/created/found under such run. (as @kuovonne mentioned!)

+5Thank you! Those footnotes always get me. One more qq - any chance you know if using a JavaScript code block extension also counts towards automations? I’m assuming no, since you’d be manually “triggering” the script.

Running Scripting Extension does not count towards automations. Extensions (seen in the dashboard on the right side fly-out panel of a Data View) are completely separate from automations.
