Gmail limits how much data can be downloaded in a period. Your progress is saved on this Mac; come
back later and choose **Continue recovery**.

## What to do
- **Nothing right now.** Close the app and come back later; choose **Continue recovery** to continue
  from your saved progress. If Gmail still pauses recovery, try again the next day.
- Your recovered photos are already on your computer, organized by year.

## Why this happens
Large archives can take more than one day to recover. This limit comes from your email provider,
not from Snapattic, and it protects your account from abuse.

## Good to know
Because recovery is **read-only** and saves your position, resuming continues from your last
checkpoint and skips photos you already have (matched by content), so you never get duplicates —
and it never touches your mail.
