Manually detecting credits only works on individual episodes

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.31.1.6716
Player Version#: web app 4.101.1

I am really excited for the new credit detection and want to try it out. I am trying to manually scan my libraries for credit detection.
Per the support article I should be able to detect them by using the Analyze action from the options menu.
If I analyze a show or season or even the whole library, it does not detect credits.
Only analyzing individual episodes works.

I looked in the console and saw the following after analyzing a show:
Feb 16, 2023 11:24:15.597 [4516] Debug — [Req#12f411/CreditsDetectionManager] It took 0.000000 ms to retrieve 164 items.
Feb 16, 2023 11:24:15.597 [4516] Error — [Req#12f411/CreditsDetectionManager] Missing item or unexpected type

I am also attaching full log files, where I restarted the Server, analyzed the whole library, then a show, then an individual episode.

This is intended. Leave the analysis of more than single items to the “butler”. It will stop analysis outside of the scheduled server maintenance hours, so that your server in not unintentionally put under high CPU load 24/7.

Oh, I assumed that if I manually analyze it will run even not during the scheduled maintenance time.
It was implied like that in the docs, but maybe I read it wrong.
Thanks for the clarification.

What happens when analyzing media runs longer than the scheduled window? I have my window set from 2 am to 5 am, so if 5 am rolls around and it is halfway through analyzing the libraries, will it finish the item it is on, then pick up where it left off the next night?

One thing I like about manually analyzing things is I can pick a smaller library to run an analyze task on and ‘see how things worked’ and for things like intro detection, it needs to be able to see more than one - is that not the case with credits detection?

Maybe a settings page like the scheduled tasks for manual analyze jobs, where you can choose what to include and what not to?

Kind of like with an antivirus program, you can set what you want to happen during on access scanning versus scheduled scans.

correct

It is not
