 * SQL query:
 * INSERT INTO `time_zone_transition`
    VALUES ( 1001, 1585443600, 4 ) ; #1226 – 
   User ‘admin’ has exceeded the ‘max_questions’ resource (current value: 75000)
 * Afterwards 500 Error …
    Tried 3 times. It worked well on the same server with
   a different WP installation in a sub-directory.

 * Looks like this issue has been known for a while now. See here:

 * I believe what they discuss a there is a different issue, just the same reason
   for the DB to stop importing. I believe the issue was the input in the time_zone_transition
   field didnt work.
    But of course I am no expert for MySQL.

 * I forgot to mention, the DB which I migrated 3 times w/o problems is from a German
   WP installation.
    The time_zone_transition field input might be different?

 * After I typed above I got the glorious idea to look into the DB that worked and
   saw that this table was missing. ( its a clone, just in German)
    I made a copy
   of the DB that didnt migrate and deleted the table time_zone_transition. Import
   went through. Though, it didnt change some of the site tables, like site url.
   Howevver, now I am dealing with 404 page not found errors. Site works only with
   Default Permalink settings. This migration turns into a real nightmare … but 
   I am not blaming the plugin! Thanks!
