A run goes through five stages, one after another. The account card shows a progress bar while it runs:
- Your own content: reads your recent posts and their results.
- Competitor discovery: looks for accounts worth comparing with (Instagram only, see 15a.3).
- Competitor content: reads the public posts of your approved competitors.
- Report: calculates the figures and writes the report.
- Content plan: writes dated post ideas.
A run spreads its work over a while instead of doing everything at once, so it is gentle on your platform limits. Parts of the report appear as each stage finishes.
Paused runs. If a platform asks Peikly to slow down, or the run would use more of a platform’s request allowance than is safe, the run pauses and the card shows Paused with the reason. It continues on its own; you do not need to do anything.
Run now. To get a fresh report before the next scheduled one, open the card’s More actions menu and click Run now, or click Run a new report now on a report. It starts within a few minutes and counts towards your monthly run limit.
