Hello Square team,

About three days ago, I received a system notification that Akismet had temporarily hidden my post for staff review.

The title was:  
“Checkout API: completion timestamps, cancellation races, and production testing in Japan”

The “your post” link in the notification currently shows an error, so I cannot check its status.

Could a moderator please check whether it is still awaiting review and restore it if appropriate?

I am asking only about the moderation status here to avoid duplicating the original technical question.

Thank you.

Was your question to start a new thread or within an existing thread? I do not see it in our review queue for new threads at the moment.

Thank you for checking.

I believe I created a new topic, rather than replying to an existing thread, but I am not completely certain.

The title shown in the Akismet notification is:  
“Checkout API: completion timestamps, cancellation races, and production testing in Japan”

My username is ratta\_logica. The system notification said the post was temporarily hidden for staff review, but its “your post” link now shows an error.

Would the original post URL or a screenshot of the notification help you locate it? If it cannot be recovered, please let me know whether I should submit a new topic.
