Error AC44: Understanding Boost Creation Failures
What Is Error AC44?
Error AC44 occurs when Lempod cannot successfully create a boost due to a temporary verification failure. Before creating a boost, Lempod performs an important security step: it verifies your LinkedIn post by contacting LinkedIn to confirm the post details, author, and title.
This is not a bug in your account. Instead, this error appears when Lempod's verification process encounters intermittent failures across external network routes. When this happens, Lempod intentionally stops with error AC44 rather than proceeding with unverified data—this is a safety measure to protect your account and data integrity.
Why Does Error AC44 Keep Appearing?
The primary causes of repeated AC44 errors are:
-
Transient Network Issues: Temporary connection failures between Lempod and LinkedIn's servers during post verification
-
Stale LinkedIn Sessions: Expired or inactive LinkedIn sessions on your account that force repeated re-validation attempts
-
Duplicate Verification Steps: The system currently verifies the same post twice during preparation, doubling exposure to transient network failures
How to Resolve Error AC44
Immediate troubleshooting:
-
Wait briefly and retry – Error AC44 is often temporary. If you encounter this error, wait 30–60 seconds and attempt to boost the post again. Most retries succeed on the second or third attempt.
-
Reconnect your LinkedIn account – Stale sessions may be causing repeated failures:
-
Open the Lempod extension settings
-
Locate your LinkedIn account connection
-
Disconnect and reconnect your LinkedIn account
-
Attempt to boost again
-
-
Update the Lempod extension – Ensure you have the latest version installed:
-
Check your browser's extension menu for pending updates
-
Reinstall Lempod if updates don't appear
-
If the error persists after these steps:
-
Note the approximate time the error occurred
-
Contact Lempod Support with this timestamp
-
Our technical team can pull detailed verification logs to identify the exact failure point in your account
Upcoming Improvements
Lempod is actively working on several improvements to eliminate recurring AC44 errors:
| Fix | Status | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Bounded, Observable Lookups | Rolling out in next few days | Verification steps will have strict time limits and detailed logs, so failed lookups stop quickly with a clear message |
| Stale-Session Cleanup | In final review | Accounts with expired LinkedIn sessions will automatically detect and request a single quick reconnect instead of silently retrying |
| Clearer Progress Indicators | In final review | Preparation steps will display distinct stages (e.g., "Checking post..." → "Creating boost...") instead of a generic spinner |
| Reduced Verification Steps | In development | Eliminates duplicate post verification, cutting exposure to transient network issues in half |
What to Do After the Next Update
Once the Lempod app update is deployed (expected within days):
-
Ensure you have the latest version installed
-
Try boosting normally again
-
If AC44 appears after the update, note the time and contact support—our new timing logs will pinpoint the exact failure point
Key Takeaways
-
Error AC44 is not your fault – It's a transient verification failure, not an account or data issue
-
Retrying almost always works – Most users resolve AC44 by simply trying again after a brief wait
-
Help is available – If retries don't work, support can investigate using detailed logs
-
Improvements are coming – Lempod is actively reducing verification failures and improving error messaging
