 * Running the bulk regeneration on a media library with around 8,000 images and
   the process times out partway through. Is there a way to process in smaller batches
   or resume where it left off?

 * Hello [@gregersen1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregersen1/)
 * Yes, if you go to the Tools menu and select the Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin,
   you can pause and restart the process and, should it time out, there should be
   an option to continue where it left off.
