# Track runs, failures and credit use in Tasks > Use the Nodespell Task queue and Tasks panel to follow runs in progress, stop or resume them, read failure details, and review credit usage. Source: https://docs.nodespell.com/graph/tasks/ · Last updated: 2026-11-10 Nodespell tracks generation work in two places. The Task queue in the graph toolbar shows runs that are in progress right now and lets you stop or resume them. The Tasks panel is a history of your AI tasks, with status filters, failure details, and the credits your generations and [Agent](https://docs.nodespell.com/agent/) turns have used. ## See what is running now When a run is in progress, a **running** indicator with a count appears in the graph toolbar, for example **2 running**. Click it to open **Task queue**. Each run in the queue shows: - the run's status and how long it has been going; - a progress bar and the number of finished steps, for example `3/5`; - up to three of the steps it is working on next, each with the node name and its status; - **Stop** to cancel the run, and **Resume** when the run is waiting for this browser. | Run status | What it means | | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Queued** | Accepted and waiting to start. | | **Planning** / **Planning next steps** | Working out the steps to run. | | **Running** | Steps are executing. | | **Waiting** | Waiting for an earlier step before continuing. | | **Waiting for browser** / **Resume browser session** | Part of the work runs in your browser tab. Click **Resume** to continue it in this window. | | **Waiting for confirmation** | Waiting for you to confirm before it continues. | Some steps run in your browser tab rather than on the server, so keep the tab open until they finish. AI generations run on the server and keep going if you close the tab. ## Stop a run 1. Click the **running** indicator in the graph toolbar. 2. Find the run in **Task queue**. 3. Click **Stop**. A stopped generation appears in the node's [takes](https://docs.nodespell.com/graph/takes/) as **Cancelled**, and its details show whether it was charged. ## Open the Tasks panel Open a new panel from any panel's **New panel** menu and choose **Tasks** under **Automation**. The panel has three tabs: | Tab | What it shows | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Tasks** | Your AI tasks, newest first, 20 per page, with **Previous** and **Next**. | | **Usage** | **Credit Usage**: individual credit deductions for AI tasks and Agent turns. **Load older** and **Newer** page through the latest 1,000 activities. | | **Timeline** | **Credit usage over time**, with a **Time range** from **Last 4 hours** to **Last 10 years**. | The panel refreshes on its own when your connection recovers. Use the refresh button to update it immediately. ## Find a task and read its details In the **Tasks** tab, use the search box, the model type filter (**Text Models**, **Image Models**, **Video Models**, **Audio Models**) and the status buttons (**All Statuses**, **Completed**, **Running**, **Queued**, **Failed**, **Pending**) to narrow the list. Each row shows the model, the status, how long ago it ran, how long it took, and the last characters of its task ID. Click a row to show its details: | Detail | Description | | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Model** | The model that ran. | | **Task ID** | The full ID, with **Copy Task ID**. Include it when you contact support. | | **Start Time** / **End Time** | When the task started and finished. | | **Status hint** | Extra status information, when there is any. | | **Error** | For a failed task, a readable message, the error code, and **Copy Error Message**. | ## What to do when a task fails 1. Read the error in the Tasks panel, or right-click the node and choose **Tasks** › **Copy error**. 2. Fix the cause. Common causes are missing or unfinished input uploads, an input of the wrong media type, a prompt the model does not accept, or not enough credits. 3. Run the node again. There is no separate retry button; a new run creates a new take, and the failed one stays in history marked **Failed**. See [Troubleshooting](https://docs.nodespell.com/reference/troubleshooting/) for specific messages and their fixes. > **Note:** The Tasks panel lists the AI tasks for your account. Free work such as compositing does not appear there; check the node itself for those results. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where do I see generations that are still running? Click the **running** indicator in the graph toolbar to open **Task queue**. It lists every run in progress with its steps and progress. ### How do I retry a failed generation? Fix the cause shown in the error, then run the node again. Each run creates a new take, so the failed attempt stays in the history. ### Does closing the browser stop my generations? AI generations continue on the server. Steps that run in the browser pause until you reopen the project and click **Resume** in **Task queue**. ### Where can I see how many credits I used? Open the Tasks panel and choose **Usage** for individual charges or **Timeline** for usage over time. ### What should I send support about a failed task? Copy the task ID with **Copy Task ID** and the message with **Copy Error Message** from the task's details, and include both. ## Related - [Run nodes](https://docs.nodespell.com/graph/run-nodes/): start, plan and batch runs - [Takes](https://docs.nodespell.com/graph/takes/): failed and cancelled takes in node history - [Plans and credits](https://docs.nodespell.com/account/plans-and-credits/): how credits are charged - [Troubleshooting](https://docs.nodespell.com/reference/troubleshooting/): fixes for common failures - [Support](https://docs.nodespell.com/account/support/): what to include when you contact support
