Free scan limits, cached results, and expired reports
Why a result may be reused or a new scan may need to wait.

What to know
The free scanner applies usage limits and may return an existing result for a recently checked page. The result’s scan time tells you when its evidence was captured.
What to do
- Check the timestamp before using a report to verify a recent code change.
- If a limit message gives a reset time, wait until then rather than repeatedly resubmitting.
- Check any expiry notice shown with your result and save an allowed export before it expires.
- When a report is no longer available, run a new scan if you are authorized to test the page.
What happens next
A cached report preserves the earlier scan’s evidence; it is not a fresh audit of your latest deployment. Expired or removed content is not restored by knowing its old URL.
If you need more help
Limits can differ between the free scanner and licensed features. Use the message and current account usage shown in the product rather than assuming a fixed daily number.
