If an OTTO PPC audit stalls, times out, or shows as incomplete, wait a couple of minutes and re-run it from the OTTO PPC dashboard. Re-running is safe and does not affect your billing or stored account data.

## 🔍 What's Happening with OTTO PPC Audits

OTTO PPC audits can intermittently fail to finish because a background processing worker restarts in the middle of a run. When that happens, the audit you launched may silently stall, time out, or display partial or no results instead of a finished report.

This affects the following OTTO PPC audit types:

- **Spend Efficiency**
- **Account Health**
- **Keyword Performance**

The issue is intermittent, so the same audit often completes normally on a later attempt. Your account data and billing are never affected when an audit is interrupted.

## 🛠️ How to Re-Run a Stalled OTTO PPC Audit

Follow these steps to recover an audit that stalled or returned incomplete results:

1. Wait a couple of minutes so the background worker pool can recover after a restart.
2. Open the **OTTO PPC dashboard** and re-run the affected audit (**Spend Efficiency**, **Account Health**, or **Keyword Performance**).
3. Run one audit at a time instead of launching several heavy audits together, which lowers the chance of an interrupted run.

Re-running an audit is non-destructive: it will not change your billing or stored account data. Once the run finishes, you'll see a completed report with full results.

## 📡 Engineering Status for This OTTO PPC Issue

Our engineering team is aware of this intermittent issue and is actively working on a fix that reduces how often the background worker restarts mid-run. Until that fix ships, the re-run steps above are the reliable way to get a completed audit.
