In such cases: +- Delete the incomplete export files from the S3 bucket. +- It is better to batch exports into chunks of ~60,000 records and run several partial exports over multiple days. The `values_updated_at` field can help with this. +- Rerun the task with more memory allocated, see 'Running Rake Tasks'.
