Hello, I’m trying to use OpenRefine, but there are some troubles that have been happening this week. After I enter “Reconcile”, there are many cells showing “No. of recon objects was less than no. of jobs” in red.
And when I try to match the others cells, the screen shows “No. of recon objects was less than no. of jobs”. I remember this exact same error happened in late 2025, and after a week it turned out to be okay. But does anybody knows the origin of the problem?
Thank you
Could you clarify which reconciliation service you are using?
OpenRefine itself only sends requests to the external reconciliation endpoint, so errors like this often originate from the service rather than OpenRefine. Knowing which service you are reconciling against will help determine where the issue should be reported.
If this was Wikidata, it was likely stricter rate limits that they were temporarily enforcing triggering bugs in the reconciliation service and OpenRefine.
They seem to have relaxed the rate limits again and users have been reporting that things are working.
