My “Save code now” request is stuck in pending status. what should I do?#

If the repository you want to save is already in the authorized list (e.g. GitLab, GitHub, …), the repositories will be saved without approval, so this should not last more than a few hours. If it’s not the case, requests should be approved within a few days (minus French bank holidays), and loaded in a few hours.

If your repository is still pending after this time, this is most likely a bug. Get in touch with us to check whether we are aware of this potential issue or are working on it.
