Make Scenario Turned Off Automatically
Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Make disables a scenario's schedule after errors across several consecutive runs, and immediately on fatal errors like DataSizeLimitExceededError. Outages have also auto-disabled scenarios. Find the failing module in History, fix it, then switch the scenario back on.
Most likely fix: Find the failing module.
Symptoms
Scenario toggle is OFF without anyone changing it; email notice that the scenario was deactivated; automations silently stopped.
Why it happens
- Consecutive errors on scheduled runs (warnings don't count)
- Instant (webhook) scenarios stopping on the first error
- Fatal errors such as exceeding data transfer limits
- Connections failing after all reconnect attempts
- Make platform incidents that disable scenarios
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Find the failing module
- Open the scenario and go to History
- Open the latest failed run
- Click the module with the red warning to read the error
2. Add error handling
- Right-click the failing module and choose 'Add error handler'
- Use Resume or Skip (formerly Ignore) for expected failures, Break to retry later
- Enable 'Allow storing of incomplete executions' in scenario settings
3. Adjust the consecutive-errors setting
- Open Scenario settings
- Set 'Number of consecutive errors' to a value that fits your tolerance
- Keep it low if failures would waste credits
4. Check status and re-enable
- Check status.make.com for incidents
- Fix the cause, then turn the scenario toggle back ON
