Run stop reasons: every done reason value, explained

When a run ends, the Done Reason column on the Runs table records why it stopped. This page is a full reference for every value you might see there, grouped by category. If you just want to know how runs work in general, start with Runs. If a stop reason mentions a synced account, see Account sync and Account bans & limits.

Normal completion

These are the “everything worked” stop reasons — the run did its job and ended cleanly.

Done reason	Meaning
`tasks_done`	Every task in the Squid’s task list was processed successfully. The most common stop reason for a finished run.
`last_page_reached`	The scraper paginated to the end of the available results and there was nothing left to collect.
`emails_verified`	All email verifications for this run completed (applies to enrichment Squids).
`batch_wait`	A batch of tasks finished and the run is waiting out its timeout before the next batch.

Manual or scheduled stops

Done reason	Meaning
`aborted`	You pressed Abort while the run was active. Partial data is still downloadable from the Runs table.
`deactivated`	The Squid was deactivated (manually or via a paused schedule) while the run was alive, so the run was cut short.

These appear on Squids that use synced accounts — LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Twitter/X, Facebook, Leboncoin, and so on. The platform did something to your synced account, and the run can’t continue until you fix it.

Done reason	Meaning	What to do
`no_accounts`	No accounts are linked to this Squid. The run closes permanently.	Link an account from the Squid’s settings or from the Accounts section.
`no_account_available`	Accounts are linked but every one of them is busy on another run. The run pauses automatically and resumes when an account frees up.	Wait, or sync more accounts to add capacity.
`cookies_expired`	The synced account’s session cookies expired and lobstr.io can no longer log in as that account.	Re-sync the account from the Accounts section or directly from the Squid’s settings.
`wrong_credentials`	The stored credentials are no longer accepted by the platform.	Re-sync the account.
`logged_out`	The platform logged the account out (often because you logged in elsewhere or used a regular logout instead of Clear site data).	Re-sync. For LinkedIn and Leboncoin, always clear site data via DevTools instead of clicking Sign out — see Account sync.
`account_blocked`	The platform blocked the account (temporary suspension or permanent ban).	See Account bans & limits. The account usually has to be replaced.
`account_too_many_requests`	The platform rate-limited the account for sending too many requests in a short window.	Lower your concurrency, slow the schedule, or sync additional accounts so the load is shared.
`checkpoint_reached`	The platform threw a verification checkpoint at the account (CAPTCHA, ID check, phone confirmation, etc.).	Log into the account in your browser, clear the checkpoint, and re-sync.
`challenge_required`	The platform is requesting a security challenge (close cousin of `checkpoint_reached`).	Same fix — resolve the challenge in-browser, then re-sync.
`non_premium`	The Squid requires a premium subscription on the target platform (e.g. LinkedIn Premium) and the linked account doesn’t have one.	Upgrade the account on the target platform, or swap in an account that already has the required tier.
`sales_seat_required`	The Squid needs a Sales Navigator seat and the linked account doesn’t have one.	Activate Sales Navigator on the account, or link a different account that does.
`limit_exceeded`	The synced account hit its own platform-side usage ceiling (search limits, profile-view caps, daily message quotas, etc.).	Wait for the platform’s limit window to reset, or split work across more synced accounts.

Plan & billing stops

Done reason	Meaning	What to do
`no_credits_left`	You ran out of lobstr.io credits mid-run.	Wait for the next credit allocation, reset your billing cycle, or upgrade your plan.
`premium_plan_needed`	The Squid (or one of its features) is only available on a paid lobstr.io plan, and you’re on the free plan.	See Manage subscription.
`last_invoice_not_paid`	An outstanding invoice is blocking new runs.	Settle the invoice from Billing → see Billing information.
`maintenance_fees_not_paid`	A custom-module maintenance fee is unpaid. Only relevant if you have a custom-built scraper.	Contact support — `contact@lobstr.io`.

Platform & service stops

These are issues on lobstr.io’s side or on the target website’s side — usually nothing for you to fix directly.

Done reason	Meaning
`website_inaccessible`	The target site is currently down or unreachable. The run pauses; it’ll retry once the site is back.
`module_under_maintenance`	The scraper module is temporarily under maintenance while the engineering team ships a fix. The run resumes automatically when maintenance ends.
`request_failed`	A request failed in a way that wasn’t safe to retry inline. The run pauses for ~6 hours and then tries again.
`export_failed`	The results export step hit an error after scraping completed. Contact support if it persists.

Still stuck?

If a run keeps ending on the same reason and nothing on this page resolves it, ping us on Crisp chat or email contact@lobstr.io with the Run ID and the Done Reason — that’s everything we need to dig in.
