Multiple Session heists?

My past two sessions were both spent on the same score. Admittedly, this is my fault as I threw a major sidequest into their main run. I had the sense this might happen, and built in a mini-refresh point, but it brought the issue to the forefront that runs in BitD don’t transition well into a second session. Has anyone else had this issue or come up with ways to deal with it?

Ok, so I have a quandry.

Ok, so I have a quandry. I’m running a brief (probably won’t go past 5-6 months weekly) investigative campaign for a group of 5 who refuse to come up with a name for their gang. The issue is, I want them to be able to reach the full potential of their characters in that span of time as we’re unlikely to do a sequel with the same characters. The current advancement system feels pretty slow, so I may want to speed it up a little bit so they can get to all the things they want their characters to get to. That said, I don’t have enough experience to be sure that by offering a little extra xp per session I won’t make them impossibly OP by the end, thus spoiling the excitement or forcing me to power creep really hard. For people who have run full campaigns before, should I speed up advancement at all, and if so how much?

For reference, they have finished 4 sessions and are only just now starting to acquire new playbook abilities
