Hi there.

I'm a bit confused as to why my feed is importing periodically, particularly since I've set my "Periodic import" field set as off in my feeds importer. It's importing periodically since it's importing the feed every 3 days and at the exact same time of the day too every time. I'm guessing it's happening through a cron which runs once every hour... I'm not sure why it's deciding to import it every 3 days though. As I've said, Periodic import is off.

I'm using the Superfeedr service. I thought maybe Superfeedr is pinging every once every 3 days - despite there not being any new content to speak of. Checking my superfeedr account, however, I'm not getting charged for any credits.

Anyone have any advice on what is happening or what to check to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Actually, I'm guessing that when you manually import a feed, that url stays recorded in the importer and will periodically check for it (despite having it set off in the settings?).

Same happened here: though periodical import was set to Off, still on cron Feeds started importing a specific feed. After some digging around in Feeds' source code I found out that Feeds' dependency module Job scheduler had a record for this feed in it's database table job_schedule.

After upgrading Feeds from 7.x-2.0-alpha8 to 7.x-2.0-alpha8+33-dev (2014-02-11), updating the database and clearing the caches twice the problem seems solved, now I can run cron without importing this feed again.

With your permission I set the status to fixed for now to clean up the issue queue a bit.
