Process sits in Pending status for 10-15 seconds

I have a UiPath app that triggers a process that runs unattended on Orchestrator. The process only takes around 2-5 seconds to run, but it sitting in the “Pending” state for around 10-15 seconds before it even runs. Any way to speed this up? Why is it pending if there are open robots?

It takes time to establish the various connections and for robot.exe to get started running the process. You can’t expect it to just happen instantly.

Should have mentioned that this wasn’t an issue until a few weeks ago. It used to be instantaneous, but now takes time. So, I can expect it to happen instantly!

How quickly it goes from pending to running doesn’t mean it actually started executing the process. Watch the logs and you’ll see it goes through different stages like installing package(s) etc. before the process steps actually start.

could be the delay setted in workflow analyzer, i had an project that tooks 3 minutes and i was becaming crazy about it and then i saw that there was an huge delay there.
