`What are you trying to do?`  
I’m trying to be sure my miner is active

`What’s not working or unclear?`  
Miner status says “inactive” yet three Challenges have timers still ticking down. I click “Start Session” and there is an error message that doesn’t stay on screen long enough for me to read it

`What have you tried so far?`  
I first tried refreshing as I have done before before clicking “start session”.

I then tried to click the “reset session” and disconnect and reconnect/sign “end user terms”.

Still will not “start session” or reflect “active” miner status

`Add any relevant code or error messages.`  
`“Fail to initiate” error code`
