From the Tasks page, you can tell when the page was last refreshed with the Last updated timestamp.

You can find more information on each task by clicking . Check when the task started, how long it was queued for, and how long it took to complete.

How we process priority levels

You’ll also see a priority within the details of a task.

The priority level of a task is shown in the details of the task.
The priority level of a task is shown in the details of the task.

Priority levels represent separate processing queues, not which tasks are processed first; a high-priority task runs in parallel with a low-priority task. High-priority tasks have more dedicated processing capacity, but they don’t preempt or delay other tasks.

Enable auto-refresh to monitor long-running tasks

To monitor long-running tasks, turn on Auto-refresh. The page will automatically refresh every 10 seconds; otherwise, you have to manually refresh.

Filter tasks

You can filter tasks by status and task type to quickly find the tasks you’re looking for.

Choose a status at the top of the tasks page or click Filter to choose a task type.

Task type
