After reset

First sync may take 1–5 minutes depending on timesheet history size.

If sync errors persist after reset, the issue is likely server-side or network-related. See timer-not-syncing.

Escalation

If reset does not resolve HUB-SYNC errors, send sync.log to support@hubnity.eu with your organization and member email.
