## Describe the problem/error/question

The workflow stops working when ingesting 27MB CSV file.

## What is the error message (if any)?

No error message, just stops at Extract from CSV step.

I’m on pro plan and thought it allocates more memory to processing large CSV files.  
How do I solve this issue?
