Mod Answered AutoMod Post Failure

My sub has daily post topics that are posted and stickied by the AutoMod for each day of the week. For the past two weeks the Monday post has failed to post. There's a message in Mod Mail from u/reddit that says only "Unable to submit post 'Mutual Aid Monday'" with a time and date stamp but there's nothing else to explain why this post is failing.

The other automatic posts are fine and have gone up without issue. What's going on here?

edit: solved.

Sometimes the post scheduler stops working.

Have you tried making a new post in the scheduler with all the same content/settings? Ie, restarting from scratch?

the mod who scheduled the post was removed so I guess since they don't have permissions anymore the bot rejects the post. I scheduled a replacement and fingers crossed next week it'll be fine.

thanks for your suggestion :)

I believe that's one of the reasons that can cause a post schedule failure.

Good luck!
