Card Checking Throughput Planning

root@c4check:~$ cat /var/lib/guides/card-checking-throughput-planning.md
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Throughput scales with concurrency only up to the provider ceiling.
  • Size time budgets with p95 latency, not the median.
  • Deduplicate lists and stream results to work faster.
  • Observed average: 139 checks per active day.

Before running a large list, it helps to know what the numbers look like. These figures come from real platform activity over the last 90 days.

Observed volume

  • Checks in the window: 278 across 2 active day(s).
  • Average per active day: 139; busiest day: 262.
  • Median per-check latency: 10,971 ms.

Throughput by concurrency

Rough expected capacity at the current median latency (cards checked in parallel × 3600 / latency). Real throughput also depends on provider limits and p95 tail behaviour:

ConcurrencyApprox. rate8-hour run10,000 cards
10 in flight3,281 / hour26,248 / 8h3 h for 10k
25 in flight8,203 / hour65,624 / 8h1.2 h for 10k

100 in flight32,814 / hour262,512 / 8h0.3 h for 10k

Planning rules of thumb

  • Throughput scales with in-flight concurrency until the provider ceiling — past it, added parallelism turns into timeouts.
  • Plan with p95, not median, when sizing time budgets for large lists.
  • Streaming means you can start acting on results long before the run finishes: see how it works.
  • Split very large lists and deduplicate first — see the bulk workflow.

Methodology

Volumes and latency come from aggregate platform metrics over the last 90 days. Capacity figures are estimates at the current median latency and exclude provider-specific limits. No customer data is used or published.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

FAQ
How many cards can be checked per hour?

It depends on concurrency and gateway latency: concurrency × 3600 / median latency, capped by the provider's limit. The table above shows estimates at current platform latency.

Why not just set maximum parallelism?

Past the provider ceiling, extra requests queue and time out, which reduces throughput and creates errors. Rolling windows keep load near the safe maximum.

How should I size a big run?

Deduplicate the list, check a small sample to measure current latency, then estimate with p95. Stream results so you can act immediately.
