Updated October 22, 2026 · 3 min read [Open Review ↗](https://app.oneform.si/reviews?help=a-report-didnt-draft)[Open Responses ↗](https://app.oneform.si/responses?help=a-report-didnt-draft) When someone submits a form with a report, OneFormAI drafts it within a few minutes and it waits in **Review**. If a response has no report, or the draft is just the client's answers laid out, one of the causes below is why. ## Symptoms - A new response has no report in **Review**. - A report stays on **Drafting** for a long time. - The draft says **Answers summary (without OneFormAI)** instead of **Drafted by OneFormAI**. ## Likely causes, most common first 1. **Your OneAI Tokens ran out for the month.** OneForm still makes a draft, but it's a summary of the answers. 2. **Your plan's monthly responses are used up.** New responses are saved but held: no report, no emails, until you upgrade or the month resets. 3. **The form doesn't make reports.** Its **Report** tab is off. 4. **The form's Default workflow is paused**, or a custom workflow replaced it without a report step. 5. **The client said no to AI.** On forms with the taxpayer consent turned on, a client who doesn't agree to AI processing gets an answers summary, never a OneFormAI draft. 6. **OneFormAI hit a temporary problem**, such as a busy AI service or a daily limit. The draft falls back to an answers summary. 7. **Drafting was cut off**, for example by a server restart. OneForm retries it, and gives up after about 15 minutes. ## What to check 1. Open the report in [Review](https://app.oneform.si/reviews). 2. Open the **OneFormAI draft** tab in the side panel. 3. Read the orange note. It says exactly why OneFormAI didn't write the draft. For example: - **"This month's OneAI Tokens are used up…"**: cause 1. - **"They said no to AI processing (IRC §7216 consent)…"**: cause 5. - **"OneFormAI is paused for this firm right now…"**: cause 6. - **"Drafting didn't finish (the server may have restarted)…"**: cause 7. If there's no report at all, go to [Responses](https://app.oneform.si/responses) instead: - A banner saying **responses are waiting** means they're held for your plan (cause 2). - Open the response. If it shows **Generate report**, the report was never made. If it shows neither **Open report**nor **Generate report**, the form's **Report** tab is off (cause 3). ## How to fix it - **Re-draft it.** On the **OneFormAI draft** tab, click **Re-draft with OneFormAI**, then **Re-draft**. This replaces any edits you made to the current draft. Add a **Note for this report** first if you want something changed. - **Out of tokens:** add tokens or upgrade in [Billing](https://app.oneform.si/billing), then re-draft. See [OneAI Tokens and reports](https://oneform.si/help/reports/oneai-tokens-and-reports/). - **Held responses:** upgrade from the banner's **See plans** link. Held responses then come through with their reports and emails. See [When you reach a plan limit](https://oneform.si/help/billing/when-you-reach-a-plan-limit/). - **No report on the response:** click **Generate report** on the response. - **Report tab off:** open the form, go to its **Report** tab, and click **Turn on reports**. This applies to new responses. - **Paused Default workflow:** open the workflow from [Workflows](https://app.oneform.si/workflows) and click **Turn on**. - **Temporary AI problem:** wait a few minutes, then re-draft. A client's "no" to AI processing is their choice, and re-drafting won't change it. Edit the answers summary by hand, or write the report yourself. ## Why does the re-draft say "the earlier draft is unchanged"? When a re-draft can't run, OneForm keeps the draft you already had, edits included, and adds a note with the reason. Fix the cause in the note, then try again. ## Why is Re-draft greyed out or saying "Rebuild the answers summary"? The button is disabled while a draft is being written, and once the report is scheduled or sent. If it says **Rebuild the answers summary** with **OneFormAI drafting isn't available right now**, OneFormAI is switched off on the server. Contact support. ## When to contact support Use **Send feedback** in the sidebar, or [oneform.si/support](https://oneform.si/support/), when: - re-drafting says **"Today's OneFormAI limit for this firm is reached"** and you need more today; - re-drafting fails again and again with the same error; - a report stays on **Drafting** for more than 15 minutes. Include the report's link so the team can find it. Was this article helpful?
