Hi everyone,I’m on the free Starter tier (forced to use Fast mode) and running into a persistent issue with Replit Agent on January 31, 2026.What’s happening:
-
I paste a prompt (tried both complex full-feature and very simplified UI-only versions).
-
Agent processes it quickly, uses low credits (3–30% depending on prompt), says “built and running,” and shows a thumbnail/screenshot of the app in the activity log sidebar.
-
Files appear in the file tree (e.g., index.html, script.js).
-
But the preview pane stays stuck on “Loading your page…” indefinitely — no content ever appears, even after 25+ minutes.
Troubleshooting I’ve already tried (multiple times, in fresh Repls):
-
Clicked the green Run button repeatedly (5–10 times).
-
Ran kill 1 in Shell, waited 10s, then Run again + hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R).
-
Opened preview in new browser tab (square arrow icon).
-
Tried incognito/private browsing window.
-
Hard refresh + cache clear.
-
Duplicated the Repl and ran immediately in the copy.
-
Created completely new Repls multiple times (deleted old ones to avoid any carry-over state).
-
Waited 30–60 minutes between attempts (in case of queue/backend delay).
-
Checked status.replit.com — only Integrations/Connectors is affected (BigQuery/etc.), all other services (Replit AI, Repls, Previews, Dynamic Hosting) show green.
The thumbnail in the activity log proves the build succeeded, so it’s clearly a preview/container sync or iframe wake-up problem on my end or platform-side.Has anyone else hit this recently (especially on free tier/Fast mode in late Jan 2026)? Any other fixes beyond the standard ones? Should I email support@replit.com with screenshots?Thanks for any help here!
