Push notifications stopped arriving — what to try

◆ 5 min readUpdated

Push notifications from K A X A N T A can silently stop for a handful of predictable reasons. Here is the diagnostic sequence that catches 95% of cases.

Check the Today screen status strip#

The easiest first check: open the /help page and look at the status strip at the top. If "Push notifications" shows a degraded or warn pill, the issue is on our side and we are already working on it. Nothing you do locally will fix it in that case — come back in an hour.

Check device-level permissions#

The most common cause: the browser or OS has quietly revoked permission. Apple in particular turns off web push if the app has been idle for several days.

  • iOS Safari: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Website Data → kaxanta.com → Allow Notifications.
  • macOS Safari: Safari menu → Settings → Websites → Notifications → find kaxanta.com → Allow.
  • Chrome (any OS): chrome://settings/content/notifications → check kaxanta.com is in Allow, not Block.
  • Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Permissions → Notifications → Settings.

Check app-level toggles#

Inside K A X A N T A, go to Settings → Preferences → Notifications and verify the toggles you expect are on. Three of these drive different streams:

  • Qi Men open gate alerts — fire when an auspicious gate aligns with your chart.
  • Evening-before low-flow heads up — fires ~16 hours before a tense day.
  • Weekly reflection — fires Sunday evenings during the reflection window.
These toggles currently live in browser localStorage — they can desync across devices. If you turned them off on laptop, they might still be on for your phone. This will be fixed when preference syncing lands server-side.

Still nothing arriving?#

  1. Sign out and back in — forces a fresh push-subscription handshake.
  2. Wait 24 hours — the Qi Men and weekly streams are time-of-day scoped. You may simply not be in a notification window.
  3. If still silent, email [email protected] — include your device + browser + OS version and we will check your subscription row.
