Why was my Auto Invest on Pocket automatically cancelled?
Your Auto Invest was most likely cancelled because your balance was insufficient for 3 consecutive scheduled payments — for example, 3 consecutive weeks in a row if your frequency is weekly. Top up before your next scheduled date and set up a new Auto Invest to continue investing.
- The rule is 3 consecutive missed payments. An Auto Invest schedule on Pocket is automatically cancelled once your balance has been insufficient for 3 scheduled payments in a row — for a weekly frequency that means 3 consecutive weeks, for monthly it means 3 consecutive months.
- A single missed payment doesn't cancel it. Missing one scheduled payment leaves the schedule active; it's only the third consecutive miss that ends it.
- A cancelled schedule can't be resumed. Once cancelled, you set up a new Auto Invest rather than restarting the old one — so keeping enough balance available before each scheduled date is what keeps a schedule alive.
- Pausing is different from cancelling. If you know you'll miss upcoming payments, pausing the schedule yourself is the cleaner option, since a paused schedule can be resumed while a cancelled one cannot.
- Where to check. Your current schedule and its status are visible via Profile → Regular Investment, filtered to Pocket.
