Power Delete Suite issues (kbin.social)

I'm having an issue where comments aren't edited at all (not the same as other issues I don't think where it gets cached and changed, as far as I can tell). Recent ones, old ones, random one in between, regardless of sub. I don't have skip gilded actions on, saved actions, or mod distinguished. Anyone know what's going on? I've ran it twice and it didn't catch them, and I've targeted specific subs and it still wouldn't grab em.

Is there another service that will do it? I'm not trying to delete the account, I just want everything edited to what I want to say.

Yesterday I followed the advice in this Reddit thread (am I allowed to post a Reddit link?) Scroll down to where /u/I_know_bubblesort answers the question about why it's happening and gives the fork that works.

This is the fork, which I used successfully yesterday. It took 7 hours!!

On another note, I'd love it if someone could tell me why it's called a fork?

I ran it for 8hrs and still it wasn't finished so I gave up. Edited 3.5k comments and that's only comments I made in the past year 💀 I have 90k+ comment karma and almost 7yrs on reddit. I think it would take days to complete it and hence I gave up.

I only had 4,000 comments and it ran for about 6 hours for me. It's because the fork adds a 5-second delay between each request and frankly that's the only way you're going to get every message edited. You can try resorting your comments by top controversial etc but I didn't find that to help much.
