Muro
Troubleshooting

Events are paused

The four reasons Muro stops storing new events, how to tell which one applies, and how to resume.

Muro pauses collection in four situations: your trial ended, a payment failed, you reached your pageview limit, or tracking was switched off for a project. In every case your existing data is safe and the dashboard keeps working. Only new events stop being stored. This page shows how to tell which one you're in and how to get going again.

Events sent while collection is paused aren't stored and can't be recovered later. Resuming quickly keeps the gap small. You never need to reinstall the snippet.

Which one is it?

What you seeCausecollect response
Red banner: "Your free trial has ended."Trial ended202, but not stored
Red banner: "Your last payment failed. New events are paused."Payment failed202, but not stored
Billing shows 100% of Monthly pageviews usedPageview limit reached429 (PAGEVIEW_LIMIT_REACHED)
Overview shows the project as PausedTracking switched off404 (PROJECT_NOT_FOUND)

The first three apply to every project you own. The last one applies to a single project.

On the goal and Shopify screens, Muro also explains the pause. For example: "Tracking is paused because this project's monthly pageview limit was reached. Goals will start recording when tracking resumes."

Your trial ended

What it looks like:

  • A banner across the dashboard: "Your free trial has ended. Upgrade now → to continue using Muro." It can't be dismissed.
  • Billing shows Trial ended: "New events are paused and your historical data is safe. Subscribe to resume event collection."
  • You received "Your Muro Analytics trial has ended".

How to resume:

Open Billing

Click Upgrade now → in the banner, or open the user menu → Billing.

Choose a plan

Under Choose a plan to continue, pick your monthly pageviews, Monthly or Annual, and click Subscribe on Starter or Team.

Pay

Complete checkout. Collection resumes as soon as the subscription is active.

See Plans and the free trial.

A cancelled subscription works the same way once the cancellation takes effect. Billing shows Subscription cancelled, and you resume by choosing a plan.

A payment failed

A failed renewal happens in two stages.

1. On hold, still collecting. You get "Action needed: your Muro Analytics payment didn't go through", and Billing shows "Payment pending — your subscription is temporarily on hold. We'll retry automatically." Events are still collected while the payment is retried. Update your card now through Billing → Manage subscription to avoid any interruption.

2. Failed, paused. If the retries don't succeed:

  • A banner reads "Your last payment failed. New events are paused. Update billing details →". It can't be dismissed.
  • Billing shows Subscription payment failed.
  • New events aren't stored. Project members lose access and your API key stops working.

How to resume: open Billing and choose a plan under Choose a plan to continue. Once you're subscribed again, collection resumes. If you're back on Team, your members get access again. Generate a new API key under Settings → API Keys if you use the Links API.

You reached your pageview limit

What it looks like:

  • Billing shows the Monthly pageviews bar full, with "You've used 100% of your monthly pageviews. Upgrade your plan to avoid dropping events."
  • You received "You've hit your pageview limit".
  • Requests to collect return 429 with the code PAGEVIEW_LIMIT_REACHED. For up to an hour after you reach the limit, they can still return 202 without being stored.
  • Insights pause until collection resumes.

All new events stop, including custom events, for every project you own.

How to resume: either wait for your next billing period, when the count resets and collection restarts by itself, or raise your limit now:

Open Billing

User menu → Billing.

Upgrade

Under Change plan, move the slider to a larger volume and click Upgrade.

Confirm

Check the prorated Charged today amount and click Confirm & pay. Collection resumes within about an hour.

See Pageview limits.

Tracking is switched off

Someone turned off Settings → Project → Tracking active for this project.

What it looks like:

  • Overview shows the project as Paused.
  • Requests to collect for this project return 404 with the code PROJECT_NOT_FOUND.
  • Other projects keep collecting normally.

How to resume:

Open project settings

Select the project in the project switcher, then open Settings → Project. Only the project owner can change this.

Turn tracking back on

Switch Tracking active on. It takes effect within a minute or two.

Verify it works

  1. The banner is gone, or Overview shows the project as Active.
  2. On your site, DevTools → Network, filtered to collect, shows requests with status 202.
  3. With the dashboard on Live, a new visit appears within a minute or so.
