FAQ

Why Does the Task Progress Percentage Remain Unchanged?

Task progress is not linear. It is dynamically calculated based on factors like task type, data volume, workload, and instance resources. If progress appears stuck for a while, it usually means time-consuming operations are in progress.

Why Can't I Find My Instance Operation Task in the Task Center?

Unsupported task type: Only tasks listed in Table 1 can be displayed in the task center. If your task is not listed, it will not be displayed.
Submission delay: If your task is supported, it may have just been submitted. Wait for a while and refresh the page.
