Agent lifecycle
Waking, sleeping, pausing, restarting, and deleting your BlockMind agent — what each state means and what survives it.
Your agent lives in its own workspace, and that workspace has a small number of states you'll occasionally see. None of them lose your data — with one clearly-marked exception at the bottom of this page.
Waking up
When you've been away, your agent's workspace may be asleep. Opening the Elite dashboard wakes it automatically — you'll see a "Waking…" screen with your agent's name for a short moment. If a wake fails, you get a Retry wake action rather than a dead end.
"Your agent is paused"
This means your Pro access ended — the trial expired without converting, the subscription was cancelled, or a payment failed. Your agent went to sleep, and everything it learned is saved: conversations, memory, Notebook, portfolio setup, briefs.
To bring it back: Reactivate Pro at blockmind.app/elite/upgrade. If you already reactivated and still see the pause screen, use the "I already upgraded — retry" action.
Restarting
If your agent is behaving oddly, you can restart its workspace yourself:
- Open Settings at blockmind.app/elite/settings (direct link — it's not in the sidebar).
- In the Danger Zone, choose Restart (labelled Wake if the workspace is asleep).
A restart is safe: memory, Notebook, and conversations survive it.
Deleting the workspace
Also in the Settings Danger Zone: Delete workspace. This is the one destructive action — it permanently removes the agent's workspace and its session state. It cannot be undone, and the confirmation says so.
For full account deletion, email contact@blockmind.app.
