Hi,  
MaxQuant run started on “Wednesday Jun 14th 18:08:50 2023 UTC” still running.  
Would you please check its status;

> **[Galaxy
            | Europe](https://usegalaxy.eu/published/history?id=0fd6fdd244da048a)**
>
> Galaxy is a community-driven web-based analysis platform for life science research.

I re-run today (after Galaxy Europe maintenance) and it is in waiting (grey) state.  
Is there a specific reason?  
Thank you.  
K.

Welcome, @k363

The server is probably working through a backlog of jobs, or the job is just queued. I would suggesting leaving the queued jobs queued for now.

You could also start up a rerun – but leave the original job queued so you don’t lose that placement.

Status: [https://status.galaxyproject.org/](https://status.galaxyproject.org/)

The EU server also has a chat. If you go into the job details view for the queued dataset, there is a value named “Job API ID”. The admins _might_ be able to check for you if you provide that in their chat (chat “tab” is at the bottom of the server homepage).

Oh – update – it looks like some of those jobs have started up. I’d let those finish.

Thank you for the detailed information that you provided.  
Will try the chat tool if needed.  
I will patiently wait for now, knowing that the jobs are just queued, with no specific issues.  
Thanks!
