Slack Silently Stops Delivering New Messages Until App Is Restarted
On systems that have not been restarted in several weeks, Slack silently stops receiving new messages without any error or alert. Users only discover the failure when they restart the app and see unread messages that should have arrived earlier. This silent delivery failure is a high-severity reliability issue for teams that depend on Slack for real-time communication.
