I have been using Replit for a while with no problems, but 5 days ago, Publishing stopped working. It shows a running circle constantly. Have tried log out, log in, closing the app, another browser with no luck. Asked the App and it says this is a backend replit server issue and ask support. Asked the support and they do not reply. Any idea how to stop this Publishing from constantly in a loop showing a circle going around.
Does your account have Usage available? Have you hit your limit? Not sure, but doesnât sound typical. Do you get any specific errors in publishing if you view the logs in there when its trying?
Thanks Mark for the reply. When I go over the limit, they just charge per usage, so that should not be the problem. Logs show my last succesful publish which was 12-5. After that there is nothing in logs because Publishing buttons are stuck and I can not even publish. I see my latest content on Replit server URL, but nothing gets sent to my actual external URL. App says it is backend servers and support need to fix it, and I need to contact support by email. They have not been able to help for past 5 days.
When you say running circle constantly, do you mean it is getting stuck at one of these points?
Those are all green from my last publish. The running circle is what I show in red box. Is there another method to publish without using that button in red box? Maybe a command line?
Interesting - Iâm not 100% sure how you could get out of that loop as you mention it is acting like it is in the last step so cannot stop. You could try âManageâ âShut downâ deployment or âPauseâ however be aware that will cause an outage if you have production users. There is also a chance you do that and it wonât come back after publishing again, so its an idea, but has a risk to it. But could get you out of the loop potentially if you donât have many users yet.
That is a good idea. I do not have any users yet and am in prototype mode, so it is safe in that regard, but I do not want to lose my work. I have not done that before. I will wait for couple of more days to see if support does anything, and then do this if they donât. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just shut it down and republish it. No risk.
Hi Eric
Shutdown worked. Its message is scary (Your published app billing will be canceled, and it will cease to exist), but I went ahead and did it, and got the publishing working again. Thanks for the suggestion.
