# Offline Queue and Retries

Cowork keeps your messages safe when the network drops, and tells you what to do when something fails.

## When to use it

When the network drops or a message fails while you work.

## How to use it

### No network

If you send while the network is down, the message shows **Offline — sends automatically when the connection is back**. Up to 10 messages can wait; after that you are asked to wait for the earlier ones.

### Short outages

If the connection drops while the AI is working, the status line shows **Connection lost, reconnecting** and retries by itself.

### When something fails

- If the chat says the conversation was interrupted, send your message again.
- If it says your session expired, sign in again (for Codex or Claude: **Settings › General › Models**).
- If a chat says it can no longer restore its context, start a new chat. The old messages stay readable.
