# Why are my code reviews paused

> Understand Kodus auto-pause behavior and how to resume automated code reviews.

If Kodus stopped reviewing your PRs after working fine before, it's likely due to the **auto-pause** feature.

## What is auto-pause

Auto-pause prevents review spam during active development. When Kodus detects rapid consecutive pushes (default: 3 pushes in 15 minutes), it pauses reviews until the activity settles.

This is a feature, not a bug — it avoids flooding PRs with multiple reviews while you're still actively pushing changes.

## How to resume

* **Wait** for the cooldown period to pass, then push again
* **Comment** `@kody start-review` on the PR to trigger a review immediately
* **Change cadence** to "Automatic" if you always want reviews on every push

## Changing the behavior

Go to **Code Review Settings** → **General** → **Review Cadence**:

| Mode           | Behavior                                           |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Automatic**  | Reviews every push — no pausing                    |
| **Auto-pause** | Pauses during rapid pushes (default)               |
| **Manual**     | Only reviews when you comment `@kody start-review` |
