# How do I check a routine and fix a failed run?

Source: https://help.locul.ai/articles/check-a-routine-and-fix-a-failed-run

Open **Routines** and click the routine to see when it last ran, its recent runs and the log of the last run. If a run did not finish, click **Ask <bot> to fix it** or **Retry**.

## See how your routines are doing

1. Click **Routines** at the top of the bot list. A dot on it means a routine needs a look.
2. Check the three cards at the top: **Right now**, **Next up** and **Since this morning**.
3. To see only problems, click the **Needs a look** tab. You can also filter by **Running**, **Trying again** or **Paused**, by bot, or with **Search routines**.

The table shows each routine's **Schedule**, **Next run**, **Last run** and **Model**.

## What the last run status means

- **Done**: the last run finished.
- **Running**: it is running now.
- **Didn't finish**: the last run stopped before it was done.
- **Trying again**: the last run failed and Locul will retry it.
- **Waiting for plan**: your Claude plan has hit its usage limit. The routine continues when the limit resets.
- **Not yet**: it has not run yet.

## Look at one routine

1. On the **Routines** page, click the routine.
2. The side panel shows **Last run**, **Next run**, **Model** and **Runs on**.
3. Under **Recent runs**, see each run with its date, how long it took and how it ended.
4. Under **Raw log, last run**, see the details of the last run, including any error.

## Fix a run that did not finish

1. Open the routine on the **Routines** page.
2. Read the error under **Raw log, last run**.
3. Click **Ask <bot> to fix it**. The bot gets a message asking it to fix the routine and tell you what it changed.
4. To try again right away, click **Retry**.

## Common reasons a run does not finish

- **It needed your OK.** A routine runs with no one watching. If it pauses for permission, open the bot's chat and click **Allow for this task**. To stop it asking, turn on **Run without asking (approve everything)** in the routine's side panel. Only do this for routines you trust.
- **Locul was closed.** Routines only run while Locul is open unless you turn on the background helper at the top of the **Routines** page.
- **Your AI plan hit its limit.** The status shows **Waiting for plan** and the routine continues later on its own.
- **It runs on another computer.** If **Runs on** names a different device, click **Run on this computer** to move it here.

## Other actions

- **Run now**: run the routine once, right away.
- **Pause** or **Resume**: stop or restart its schedule.
- To change what a routine does or when, tell the bot in the chat.

You can also check a single bot's routines in its details panel under **Scheduled tasks**. Click a task to see its status, then use **Run now** or **Remove**.

## Troubleshooting

If a routine keeps failing after the bot tries to fix it, email support@locul.ai with the routine name and the error from **Raw log, last run**.
