## QUEUE

The workflow has been submitted and is waiting for processing.

**Expected behavior**

- Workflows are processed in order of availability. 
- During peak usage, workflows may remain in the queue longer than usual. 

**What to do**

- Wait for the workflow to begin processing. 
- Upgrade your plan for priority access and faster queue processing.

## DOWNLOADING MODEL

The workflow is downloading one or more required models before execution.

This commonly occurs when:

- The model is being used for the first time. 
- A model was recently updated. 
- The model is not currently cached. 

**Expected behavior**

Large models may require several minutes to download.

**What to do**

- Allow the download to complete. 
- Avoid submitting duplicate workflow runs.

## VALIDATING

The workflow configuration is being checked before execution.

Validation verifies:

- Required models 
- Node dependencies 
- Workflow structure 
- Input requirements 

**Expected behavior**

Validation usually completes within a few seconds.

**What to do**

- Wait for validation to finish. 
- If validation remains active for an extended period, try running the workflow again.

## RUNNING

The workflow is actively processing.

Execution time depends on:

- Workflow complexity 
- Number of nodes 
- Model size 
- GPU availability 

**Expected behavior**

Some workflows may take significantly longer than others.

**What to do**

- Allow the workflow to complete. 
- Avoid refreshing repeatedly.

## FAILED

The workflow could not complete successfully.

Common causes include:

- Invalid inputs 
- Missing dependencies 
- Workflow configuration issues 
- Temporary infrastructure errors 

**What to do**

1. Review the error message. 
2. Verify workflow inputs. 
3. Retry the workflow. 
4. Contact support if the issue persists.

## WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT

**Contact support if:**

- A workflow remains in Queue for an unusually long period. 
- Downloading Model does not progress after an extended time. 
- Validation never completes. 
- The same workflow consistently fails after multiple attempts. 
- You receive an error message that does not provide enough information to troubleshoot. 

**Include:**

- Workflow URL 
- Run ID 
- Screenshot of the error 
- Approximate time of execution
