Paused 9 Nov
Paused, not stopped. ChatGPT ads were not the problem: the form on your page didn't send from iPhones for 3 days.
Clicks kept coming as expected. People tapped Send and nothing reached you. Judging the test on those days would blame ChatGPT for a broken page.

To do
Fix the form for Safari
Our team. The page is one we host, so this one was ours to fix. Done 9 Nov, 11:20.
Test it again
Forms from an iPhone, an Android phone and a computer all arrived at 11:32.
Resume the test
You, one tap. The page is otherwise frozen during a test, so the fix is in History with its date, before and after.
The clock and the money
- The clock
- Stopped after 8 full days. The 3 days with a broken form, 6 to 8 Nov, don't count. On resume today the test restarts at day 6 and still gets 28 fair days, ending Tue 1 Dec.
- The money
- $256 spent in 8 full days, at $32 a day. ChatGPT can bill clicks for up to 24 hours after a pause; those clicks fall inside the 8 days, and the money left covers them. $640 of your $896 stays in your test money.
- The broken days
- $96 of the $256 was spent while the form was broken, 3 days at $32. It is left out of the verdict, and because the page is ours, it comes back to you as a $96 credit in your test money.
- Days added back
- $640 plus the $96 credit is $736: exactly 23 more days at $32. So the test still costs you $896 at most.
