A quick restart of the app usually gets sharing going again.
Android sometimes shuts down apps running in the background. Force-stopping Honeygain and clearing its storage resets it.
⬢ Why it happens
Android manages apps running in the background to save battery. This can stop the Honeygain app's internal services, or occasionally crash the app completely. When that happens, your device stops sharing bandwidth and you don't earn credits.
⬢ Make sure you're logged in to Honeygain on this device. If you are, clearing storage won't affect your earnings. If you aren't, your credits might be lost.
