## Activity Status Fields

 
| Status | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `Aborted` | The policy was aborted in the middle of a policy run. |
| `Aborting` | Start of the `Aborted` process. |
| `Disabled By User` | The policy was deactivated in the middle of a policy run. |
| `Discarded` | All records from this import activity were moved to the Recycle Bin. |
| `Ended` | The activity completed successfully. |
| `Ended With Errors` | The activity completed successfully but with errors. |
| `Failed` | No records archived. |
| `No Records` | No records archived. |
| `Process Exceeds 23h` | The activity started and ran successfully until it reached a time limit. When a policy is set to run daily, this status shows a process has exceeded the time limit. |
| `Process Exceeds 120h` | The activity started and ran successfully until it reached a time limit. When a policy is set to run more than one time per day within a five-day period, this status indicates partial success before exceeding the time limit. |

| `Query Timeout` | The activity started and ran successfully until it reached a time limit. The timeout period elapsed before the operation was completed, or when the server wasn't responding. |
| `Started` | An activity started. |
| `Too Many Failures` | Too many failures are detected in read or delete, and the archiving process is abandoned to save API calls. |
