### What do you need help with?

I have been trying to import several Airtable bases to baserow. Several of them appear to be in the process of importing, but get bogged down at 26% completion. They fail to import, but I get no failure alert or explanation. I have tried to import several times and it just hangs and never imports.

Hello @papercarver, welcome to the Baserow community! 👋

Thanks for reporting this! Could you share roughly how large the Airtable base is (number of tables/records/files)? If possible, could you also share the base with me privately via DMs so we can reproduce the issue? That would help us investigate why the import gets stuck at 26%.
