Symptoms

The Zap shows as off, reverts to off after refresh, or you get a 'High Error Ratio' email.

Why it happens

• 95% of runs failed over 7 days (Team gets a 24-hour grace period, Enterprise 72 hours)
• Expired or stale app connection
• Reconnecting an account can leave Zaps off until switched on again
• Repeated errors from the app (rate limits, permissions)
• A May 2026 incident sent some incorrect 'High Error Ratio' emails
