# Slot shows a red dot in the dashboard, is my integration broken?

Asked by tomasr on 2026-06-10. Tags: slots, dashboard, debugging.

We shipped a redesign last month and removed an old promo section from the
site. Today I noticed the slot for that section shows red dot in the dashboard.

What I checked already:

- other slots are green and serving content normally
- no errors in the console on the pages that still use Croct
- the app ID and environment did not change

So the integration itself looks healthy. Is the red dot telling me something
is broken, and does a red slot affect billing or the other slots somehow?

Your integration is fine, the red dot is exactly what you would expect after
removing a section. The status dots mean:

- grey: the slot has never received requests
- green: the slot is actively receiving requests
- red: the slot has been inactive for 7 or more days

It is informational, not an error. Since the redesign removed the code path
that fetched that slot, it stopped receiving requests and after a week the
dot flipped to red. Nothing about it affects your other slots, and it does
not generate traffic or MAU, so there is no billing impact from it sitting
there.

The one thing it does consume is your slot quota, since every slot counts
toward the plan limit (3 on free, 20 on Growth). If the section is gone for
good, archive the slot and you free that capacity for something new. If you
might bring the section back, leaving it red is harmless, it will turn green
again as soon as requests resume.
