# XH-H03: A stuck server was not restarted: too many hang restarts (/docs/xhlds/codes/xh-h03)

On the console:

```text
[XH-H03] Server still stuck after 60 s in hangtest.amxx, not ended: 3 hang restarts in 30 min, so a stuck server is only reported until 2026-10-28T21:15:00Z
```

**Printed:** instead of the restart, after 3 hang restarts in 30 minutes (Linux).

The server was stuck (XH-H01) long enough to be restarted, but it had already been restarted for a hang 3 times in the last 30 minutes (kept in `xhlds/hang-restarts`). Restarting again would most likely loop: the same plugin hangs again after every start. So the hang is reported and the server stays as it is until the time the line names; then it is restarted, also if it is still stuck from before.

**Is it a problem?** Yes: the server stays frozen until you restart it.

**What to do:** find the plugin in the XH-H01 lines and the reports and take it out of `plugins.ini`, then restart the server yourself.

## On the server [#on-the-server]

[`xhlds_explain XH-H03`](/docs/xhlds/commands#xhlds_explain) prints this explanation on the server console, also over rcon.
