3 years ago I'd also suggest it might be worthwhile doing a character count on qa->get_response_summary and just ignoring it if it's under a certain count like 100 characters. (it could even be empty)

3 years ago @danmarsden confirming this is a real issue for us as well - three quizzes last week generated nearly 30,000 submissions, with many complaints about delays with assignment reports soon after. I have also raised with Turnitin Support (Case: 01831537) and asked our Account Manager to escalate. Anything you can suggest would be appreciated - including how to increase submission throughput from Moodle to Turnitin. FYI @alexmorrisnz.

3 years ago Hi @andrewrowatt-masseyuni - Ideally under line 2565 there needs to be something like: if ($qa->get_question()->get_type_name() == 'essay') {
Hopefully Alex can help get this into your site until Turnitin address this themselves.

2 months ago Thank you for reporting this. Because the latest version of the plagiarism plugin is supported for versions of Moodle 4.1 and higher, I am closing this ticket. However, if you find this issue is occurring with the latest version of the plugin in any of the supported Moodle versions, please create a new ticket and we will address it.
When handling a quiz the event_handler function finds every question in the quiz and adds it to the queue for processing - when you have a large quiz (100 questions) this generates 100 items in the queue which massively slows down the backlog.
ideally in here: https://github.com/turnitin/moodle-plagiarism_turnitin/blob/master/lib.php#L2565
there should be a call to: $qa->get_question()->get_type_name() and check to see if it's an essay question before adding it to the queue for processing.
