Why a scan won't run

Why a scan will not run: the Run or Refresh button is disabled or a run was rejected, with the common reasons and fixes.

When Run or Refresh is disabled

If Refresh now (or the run button) is greyed out, hover it: the tooltip names the reason. Here are the common ones and how to fix each.

When a run is rejected after you start it

  • "This scan includes prompts flagged as unsafe." One or more prompts didn't pass our safety check. Edit or remove the flagged prompts and run again. See Keeping prompts genuine (acceptable use).
  • A run that fails part-way shows what happened on the dashboard, tagged Action needed (something in your setup) or On our side. See Scan statuses.

If none of these apply and a run still won't start, try again in a few minutes, then contact support.
