Step 1 – Open the Troubleshoot Tool

To access the tool:

  1. Log in to your Calendly account.
  2. Open the live scheduling page or preview of your event type.
  3. Scroll down and select Troubleshoot.

Step 2 – Use the tool

Each code pinpoints why a time isn’t available. Here's what they mean:

Code What it means How to fix it
BUFFER A buffer is blocking this time. Edit or remove the buffer from the Meetings page.
CALENDAR A busy event is blocking the time. Check your calendar settings and change conflicting events to "Free" or remove them from your connected calendar(s).
DAYMAX You’ve hit the daily/weekly/monthly meeting limit. Adjust limits under Limits and buffers in the event editor.
DURATION Not enough time for your event. Shorten the event or extend your availability.
EVENT Another Calendly event of this event type is booked. Reschedule from your Meetings page or enable Free/busy rules to schedule over booked meetings.
GROUP Group event has max attendees. Increase the max invitee number from the Meetings page.

HOLIDAY

This date is marked as a holiday. Edit holidays from your Availability page.
HOST One or more hosts are unavailable for a Collective event type. Make sure all hosts are free at the desired time.
