status_check_failed
Recovers on its own — one of 20 documented failure codes the publishing engine can emit, rendered from the same catalog the publishing service uses.
- What it means
- Publishly could not read the platform processing status. The read-only status check can be retried safely.
- Is it retryable?
- Yes. This is a temporary platform problem — Publishly waits and retries the post automatically, so you usually don’t need to do anything.
- What Publishly does
- Records the failure against the post with the code status_check_failed.
- Fires a signed post.failure webhook carrying the class, code, reason & whether Publishly will retry.
- Surfaces the reason above directly on the post, so you never have to guess what happened.
- What you should do
- No action needed — Publishly is already retrying this post after a safe delay.
- Check the post’s delivery receipt if you want to confirm the retry landed.
- If it’s still failing after several retries, contact support with the post ID.

This code is one layer — receipts, retries & webhooks are the rest.
