I have created a Robotic task, and it is throwing error when I try to execute it. The error is "Problem when launching executions: ROBOT_NOT_ALLOWED_NOW". The robot is online and it as also added to the Robot Pool. Any reason we get this error?

Error usually means the robot has schedule restrictions configured. Check the Robot Pool settings for time-based availability rules that may be blocking execution outside specific hours/days. Also verify the robot isn't in maintenance mode and hasn't hit concurrent execution limits.

Hi, Where can I check time-based availability of robot pool?

It got deprecated,

Still you check multiple things,
Verify the robot isn't in maintenance mode, hasn't hit concurrent execution limits, and has proper robot pool permissions.
