Flattening Codes
1. Queue for Processing
This indicates that the Universe is attempting to sync. While this is processing, please do not re-flatten the Universe. Allow the sync to run, it may take 2-4 hours for the Universe to flatten.
If it continues to display this code, but does not flatten within a couple of hours, contact our support team by opening a chat or emailing use at eto@bonterratech.com.
2. Queued for processing due to error in last attempt
If you see the following error when flattening your Universe, it has encountered an issue in syncing. To re-attempt the sync, you can re-flatten the Universe following the steps from Option 2 (above).
If this error continues to display, please contact our support team by opening a chat or emailing use at eto@bonterratech.com.
Notes:
Flattening a Universe requires a lot of bandwidth. The size of the Universe and the time of day can contribute to success when flattening Universes.
We recommend flattening a Universe early in the day or late in the evening.
A Universe will attempt to flatten itself repeatedly. One error does not mean it has failed flattening all together.
If you are encountering repeated flattening errors, please alert our support team.
