Hi team,
I'm encountering an issue with a synthetic monitor deployed to a private location (`AS_OB_Multistep`) in the `govmeetings-prod` space. The monitor is pushed successfully, but fails to run with the following error:
```auto
journey did not finish executing, 0 steps ran (attempt: 1)
⚠ Throttling may not be active when the tests run
```
Logs
> Timestamp Type Message
> 21 Jun 2025 04:11 stderr ⚠ Throttling may not be active when the tests run - see
> 21 Jun 2025 04:11 stderr [synthetics/docs/throttling.md at main · elastic/synthetics · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/synthetics/blob/main/docs/throttling.md) for more details
**Environment:**
- Elastic Cloud URL: `https://elastic.granicuslabs.com`
- Space: `govmeetings-prod`
- Private Location: `AS_OB_Multistep`
- Agent: [Docker/Kubernetes/Elastic Agent] (please specify)
- CLI Version: `@elastic/synthetics` (please include version)
Config:
Journey File:
```auto
import { SyntheticsConfig } from '@elastic/synthetics';
import '../journeys/mema/mema_secured';
monitor: {
schedule: 10,
privateLocations: ['AS_OB_Multistep'],
name: 'Mema_Journey_cli2',
space: 'govmeetings-prod',
},
throttling: {
download: 4 * 1024 * 1024,
upload: 1 * 1024 * 1024,
latency: 20
},
```
What I’ve Tried:
Verified the private location is healthy and connected
Confirmed the journey runs locally with npx @elastic/synthetics
Added throttling settings to config
Any help would be appreciated!

It seems like script format might not be as expected,
can yo please share complete journey script which you are executing?
don't forget to remove sensitive stuff.
Here is an example journey to follow
```auto
import { journey, step, monitor, expect } from '@elastic/synthetics';
journey('My Example Journey', ({ page, params }) => {
// Only relevant for the push command to create
// monitors in Kibana
monitor.use({
id: 'example-monitorl',
schedule: 5,
});
step('launch application with', async () => {
await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
});
step('assert title', async () => {
const header = await page.locator('h1');
expect(await header.textContent()).toBe('todos');
});
});
```
