“AI blocking is paused”
FocusDragon has paused AI checks from its side for now. It isn't caused by anything on your Mac, and there's nothing you need to fix.
- Nothing is captured, uploaded or judged, and nothing new is closed, while it lasts. The glow round your screen goes off.
- Any cooldown that was already running finishes as normal, 10 minutes at most.
- The dragon asks again every minute. That request carries no screenshot and nothing about your account.
- When checks are back, the notice clears, the glow returns and checking picks up by itself within a minute.
“Your AI Focus taster is used up”
A trial includes a one-hour taster of AI Focus: 240 checks, about an hour at the normal pace, once per account. This message means they've all been used.
- Nothing more is captured or judged for the rest of this block, and the glow goes off.
- To keep the dragon watching, press Get AI Focus on the notice. Starting another AI Focus block needs an AI Focus or AI Focus Max plan.
Other reasons checks stop or slow down
- “AI checks aren't answering”: FocusDragon's AI provider isn't responding, so nothing is judged or closed until it's back. FocusDragon keeps trying; there's nothing to do.
- “AI check limit reached”: you've reached the limit on AI checks for now, so checks are skipped. Nothing is closed while this lasts.
- “AI Focus can't check right now”: your sign-in has expired or AI Focus isn't on your plan. Sign in again in Settings → Account. Nothing is judged or closed until then.
- “Paused: no activity for 30 seconds”, “Paused: the screen is locked” or “Paused: your Mac is asleep”: checks rest while you're away and start again as soon as you're back.
- Checks about every 30 seconds, or about once a minute: your plan's monthly allowance of full-speed checks is used up. Checks slow down but never stop.
