TikTok Content Posting photo posts (Composio TIKTOK_POST_PHOTO, source PULL_FROM_URL, from a verified URL prefix on a Cloudflare Worker relay) sat in PROCESSING_DOWNLOAD for hours. `wrangler tail` showed TikTok never sent a single GET for the images. The signature file was served, the portal showed the prefix Verified, and the same code worked the evening before in under 10 s. It started right after about 9 direct video posts in 30 minutes on the same account, so a silent per-account throttle is a plausible cause (unconfirmed). Debug order: tail the image host during the post to see whether TikTok fetches at all, then check the fetch-status raw status, then the portal's URL properties. Keep the relay TTL long enough (≥2 h), and delete the batch only after the status moves past PROCESSING_DOWNLOAD.
