Frequently Asked Questions

Build timeouts typically occur when jobs take longer than their allocated time limit or when resources are constrained. Try optimizing your build process to reduce execution time, check if you can increase timeout settings in your configuration, and verify that any external services your builds depend on are responding properly.

Access issues may be caused by authentication problems, browser compatibility, or service disruptions. Try clearing your browser cache, using incognito mode, or checking if CircleCI has reported any system-wide issues on their status page.

Jobs may remain queued due to resource constraints, configuration issues, or service disruptions. Check your concurrency settings, verify if you've reached your plan's resource limits, and examine if the issue affects all projects or just specific ones.

Storage errors typically indicate your build is consuming more disk space than available in the build environment. Try cleaning up artifacts during your build process, reduce large file operations, or consider upgrading to a resource class with more storage capacity.

Docker-related issues may be caused by registry authentication problems, image size constraints, or service limitations. Verify your Docker registry credentials are correctly configured, optimize your Docker images for size, and check if pulling images from alternative registries resolves the issue.

SSH connectivity problems may result from permission issues, network restrictions, or service disruptions. Verify your SSH keys are properly configured, check if your network allows outbound SSH connections, and confirm that the CircleCI job is still running and in a state that allows SSH connections.

API issues can stem from authentication problems, rate limiting, or service disruptions. Check your API tokens are valid, verify you're not exceeding API rate limits, and implement retry logic with exponential backoff for critical API operations.

Trigger failures may be caused by webhook configuration issues, branch filtering problems, or service disruptions. Verify your repository webhooks are correctly configured, check your workflow configuration for proper branch filters, and examine if manual workflow runs succeed when automatic triggers fail.

About CircleCI

CircleCI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that automates the building, testing, and deployment of software. The service enables development teams to detect and fix integration issues quickly, validate code quality through automated tests, and deliver applications to various environments through customizable pipelines, supporting multiple languages, frameworks, and deployment targets through a cloud-based or self-hosted infrastructure.

Software developers use CircleCI to automate test execution when pushing code changes, receiving immediate feedback on build status and test results to identify issues early in the development process. DevOps engineers implement CircleCI's pipeline configurations to create consistent, repeatable deployment processes across development, staging, and production environments. Quality assurance teams rely on CircleCI for running comprehensive test suites including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests as part of the delivery workflow, while engineering managers utilize the platform's insights and analytics to monitor team productivity and release health metrics.

Users may experience various types of issues when using CircleCI, including temporary build queuing during periods of high concurrent usage, occasional resource constraints for memory-intensive operations, or brief delays in webhook processing from source control systems. Custom Docker image pulls might experience timeout issues with very large images or during registry connectivity fluctuations. Complex workflows with many parallel jobs might occasionally encounter orchestration delays or job sequencing issues requiring configuration adjustments. Integration with deployment targets or third-party services could require troubleshooting after external API changes. During maintenance windows, users might notice slightly increased latency for the web interface, temporary limitations on certain dashboard features, or brief delays in build startup times that resolve as updates complete.
