# Efficient recurring tasks, clearer failures, and worker renames

> Long-running recurring tasks are now more efficient and stay focused on the current run, a failed turn is no longer met with silence, renaming a worker updates its name in Slack, and new workers more reliably go to work.

*November 2, 2026*

This week made recurring tasks more efficient, made problems easier to see from your side, and made new workers steadier at getting started.

## More efficient recurring tasks

Each run of a scheduled task now starts its own conversation instead of carrying every earlier run's history. A task that has been running for months gives each run focused attention, and the 200th run is as efficient as the first, which means savings for you on long-running tasks.

## A clear notice when a connection stops working

When a connected app's sign-in or key is no longer valid, the person talking to the worker is told plainly what failed and who can fix it. The connection's owner is told what to do next.

## No more silence after a failed turn

When a worker can't be reached or a turn fails, the person who wrote to it now hears that something went wrong. Before, they could get silence or a misleading “complete”.

## Renames reach Slack

Renaming a worker now updates the name of its installed Slack app within a couple of minutes, with no re-install. The worker introduces itself by its new name on its next turn.

## Fixes

* **New workers more reliably go to work.** Setup is steadier, so a newly created worker is more likely to come up and start working the first time.
