My Boost Is Not Starting or Stuck at X%


🛠️ Problem Description


"Hello, I clicked to start the boost, it shows up under 'Boosted Posts', but nothing happened for 1 hour. Then it suddenly started, but now it's stuck at X% and hasn’t progressed for a while."


If you're experiencing a similar issue, here’s what you need to know.


⏱️ Why Is My Boost Delayed?


Sometimes, boosts do not start immediately due to one or more of the following reasons:


  • Queueing System: Your post is in a queue with other users in your pod. Podawaa boosts are distributed over time to look natural.

  • User Availability: The system waits for active matching users in your domain. If few users are qualified to interact, the boost may pause or slow down.

  • Anti-Detection Algorithm: To avoid LinkedIn penalties, Podawaa uses a smart algorithm that spreads actions with randomized timing.


🔄 Why Is My Boost Stuck at X%?


If your boost is stuck:


  • It may be waiting for more members to become available.

  • Some users may have reached their daily interaction limits.

  • The algorithm may be pausing temporarily to avoid suspicious activity.


✅ What Should I Do?


  • Be patient: boosts may take a few hours to fully complete.

  • Do not restart or cancel the boost — it may disrupt the algorithm.

  • If the boost remains stuck after a long time (e.g., 24+ hours), feel free to:

  • Contact our support team.

  • Provide the post link and screenshot for quicker diagnosis.


📌 Tips for Smooth Boosting


  • Schedule boosts at times when your pod is most active.

  • Avoid boosting too many posts too quickly.

  • Trust the process: Podawaa is designed to protect your LinkedIn visibility.
