Hey @pramod,

Apologies! I didn’t realize you meant the inventory sync mutation.  
Could you provide me with the inventory sync id so I could take a look at what’s going on?

Please let me know if you have any questions on concerns.

Best,  
RayanP

Hello @pramod

Inventory Sync shouldn’t take this long, they should take minutes.

It will also depend on how many lines you are sending, we recommend around 2000 lines per file. It is what most find to be the sweet spot between speed and quantity. However you can try 4000, I wouldn’t recommend more than that, that’s when they get stuck.

Can’t say for sure the exact time but I assume the longest might be about 15 minutes, considering the number of lines in the CSV is within the workable threshold.

At this stage, you should abort the sync using `inventory_sync_abort`.

```auto
mutation{
  inventory_sync_abort(data:{
    sync_id:"string"
    reason:"string"
  }){
    sync{
      status
    }
  }
}

```

Have a nice day!
