Why Did My Capture Report Fail to Generate?

Understand report retries, size limits, worker recovery, and how to retry without changing an issued artifact.

Check the report status

Report generation runs in the background. Queued and Generating are normal; you can leave the builder. A notification arrives when the PDF is ready.

Capture retries temporary failures with bounded backoff. If a worker restarts, an expired claim is recovered without counting the abandoned attempt twice.

If the report reaches Failed

Open the report to see the safe failure summary, then choose Retry. Review:

Reports support large projects, including the documented 800-photo exception path, but a smaller audience-specific report is often clearer for a customer or adjuster.

An already frozen or issued report is immutable. Retrying or regenerating creates a new artifact and never changes the PDF someone previously received.

If repeated retries fail, record the Report number and time for support. Do not recreate the same draft repeatedly; its durable generation row is designed to recover.
