By default, Chrome puts inactive tabs to sleep, which can pause the auto sync process in the background. If you’ve ever seen a “sync not running” message, this might be the culprit.

How to Prevent It

Open Chrome Settings. Click the three dots in the top-right corner of Chrome, then go to Settings.

Whitelist your third-party platform dashboard. Enter your platform URL. This ensures Chrome doesn’t suspend the tab. Click Add to confirm the change. Make sure your URL now appears in the “Always Active” list.
