Is there a way to automatically search wanted list in blocks?

[decay]

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Im new to sonarr.

I have a lot of shows on my list and lot of missing episodes (some new and some really old). My wanted list had over 400 pages, which is over 6000 missing episodes. Im afraid to click “search all missing” on the wanted page, as it feels like it would make the world explode.

How can i get the missing episodes (or atleast try) slowly over time? Is there any way to tell sonarr to search for 10 pages of missing episodes every day or something like that? Keep in mind, some of the shows on my list will probably never find proper sources (very old and rare or just dont exist on indexers), so i dont want sonarr to get stuck on constantly searching for these shows rather than moving on and coming back to them later.

Sonarr will use RSS feeds to automate finding missing episodes (explained in the ((FAQ)), but won’t search automatically. You can either search for all missing or periodically manage it yourself if you want to search.
