Check scheduling

The first check

Every plan, including Free, receives one automatic governance run as soon as a Site is verified. Until it completes, the Sites list shows Waiting for first check, then Checking, then the result.

Recurring checks

After the first run, the recurring interval comes from your plan:

Plan	Automatic checks
Free	None. Run checks manually.
Starter	Weekly
Pro	Daily
Scale	Every 12 hours
Agency	Every 6 hours
Enterprise	Hourly

The interval applies to every Site in the Organisation. There is no per-Site or per-Workspace override; the Monitoring page in Site settings shows the interval that applies. Crawls (Deep Scan) are never scheduled automatically.

Manual checks

Editors and Admins can run a check at any time with Run all checks in the Site header, the Run checks action on a row in the Sites list, or the play button on an individual artefact card. Manual checks are attributed to the person who ran them.

Backoff after failures

If Flowpane cannot fetch a Site repeatedly, it does not remove the Site from the schedule. It holds automatic checks back for a growing interval:

Consecutive failures	Next automatic check after
1	24 hours
2	72 hours
3–4	3 days
5–6	7 days
7–9	14 days
10 or more	30 days

Once two failures have occurred, the Sites list shows an Auto-checks paused badge with an explanation. Running a manual check resets the failure count and clears the hold immediately, whether or not it succeeds, so after fixing a firewall or DNS problem you can resume normal scheduling straight away.
