Watcher not responding

The most common causes, and how to check each one.

Check the deployment is actually active — a Watcher profile existing isn't enough; it needs an ACTIVE deployment into the specific Community. See the Watcher's own detail page for its deployment status.

Check your subscription/trial is currently active, not expired — an expired subscription pauses Watch operations without deleting anything. Billing shows your current status.

Check the Community connection itself — a Watcher can only act with the Telegram admin rights it was actually granted (delete-message/restrict/post). See "Telegram connection issue".

Check the Community's own status on the Communities page, and check Activity for that Community — a real decision (or a genuine silence, which is often correct) will show there.

Not every message gets a reply — Watchers decide when responding actually adds value, and silence is frequently the right call, not a bug.
