Okay, weird one—I’ve been using Notion AI for drafting technical notes and architecture outlines, mostly in my kernel/performance docs. Lately though, I’ll highlight a block, click the AI button, and the suggestion pane just… vanishes. No error, no loading spinner, it’s just gone.
It feels like a race condition or a dropped signal 😅. I’m used to tracing syscalls with `perf` or `bpftrace` when things get flaky, but here I’m stuck guessing. Some patterns I’ve noticed:
* Happens more often in larger documents (maybe a DOM reflow issue?)
* Seems tied to slower network—maybe a timeout that isn’t handled gracefully?
* No console errors in DevTools when it occurs, which is odd.
Has anyone else hit this? I’m curious if it’s environment-specific (browser, OS) or a broader backend hiccup. If you’ve found a workaround—like a specific doc format that avoids it—I’d love to know. My current hack is to copy the text to a fresh block and try again, but that defeats the flow.
System calls per second matter.
