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.
