I’ve not noticed this before, and it may be that I usually do this kind of work in Safari. Today I have to read and summarize several news articles and RT keeps blocking the sites, even though I choose “continue and turn off blocking in this zone.” It works and then I’ll scroll a bit and it will block again. Is this something with Chrome specifically? RT has also asked me to sign back in a couple times in Chrome.

I’m having this problem, too. I have set up my focus session to NOT block anything, yet it still does. This happened right after the latest RescueTime software update.

Hi @zach this appears to be a Focus Zone issue. For now while we investigate, sorry for the delay, please disable Focus Zones in the [Focus Settings page](https://www.rescuetime.com/rtx/settings/focus-sessions).

@kongjie, @sharon_duke, @zach this link to “Continue and turn off blocking in this zone.” in a Focus Zone should now be fixed. We’re so sorry for the delay.
