I signed up for Premium Archive/Pro. The archive backfill for one of my feeds (Deadline) appears incomplete. Is there a timeline on when the backfill becomes fully present in my account?

You should receive an email when it’s finished but it usually takes no more than a few hours. Do you have a link to the feed that needs it’s backfill? Not every feed gets a backfill, some feeds just don’t support it. NewsBlur tries hard to find every story but it doesn’t always work.

Thank you for responding. I believe it is [https://deadline.com/feed/](https://deadline.com/feed/)

Seems to be consistent going back to March 4 2026 and then gets spotty:
