Zapier holds a batch of runs and nothing happens until someone replays them
Zap runs show status Held in Zap history
Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100
Cause
Polling triggers that find 100 or more new items at once are held by flood protection, counted before any Filter or Path step. Runs are also held when tasks run out, a connection is disconnected, or a premium app is not on the plan.
Fix
Review and replay held runs from Zap history, raise the flood protection limit on paid plans, and add Delay After Queue for planned bulk loads.
Apply
Zap history > filter Status: Held > select runs > Replay
Affects: Zapier polling triggers, all plans; manual replay of held runs needs a paid plan, as of 2026-10
