Resolve a failed profile update

Check field limits and the saved result before leaving Profile settings.

Updated 2026-11-11

If Profile settings says it could not save, the new details have not been confirmed. Keep the intended values available, then check the Full name and Phone fields before trying again.

Full name is limited to 200 characters and Phone to 40. Remove extra notes or pasted content that do not belong in those fields. The email field is read only and cannot be changed by saving the form.

Wait until the current Saving state finishes. Once the connection is stable, submit again and look for Profile updated. Reopen the page after saving to confirm the intended values persisted. A value still visible in an unsaved input is not the same as a confirmed account update.

If it continues to fail, contact support with the exact error and the fields you were changing. Avoid sending the full personal details when the error can be explained without them. Do not create another account to work around a profile save failure; company memberships and security settings are separate from these display and contact fields.
