My Microsoft Forms timer stopped at 00:01 and never finished. It said answers would auto-submit when time ended, but when I pressed submit, it said "no longer accepts responses" — even before the timer elapsed. Were my answers submitted?

    Hi @MAKANGA HAZAHAL, 

    Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    I understand that you would like to confirm whether your form has been submitted successfully. 

    From your description, it appears the form you completed had a time limit. When a form is configured with a timer, it is typically automatically submitted once the time expires, even if you do not manually click the submit button.

    To verify your submission, you may want to contact the form owner or creator, as they have access to the list of responses and can confirm whether your submission was received. 

    Thank you again for your time and understanding.      

    I really appreciate your patience, and I’m here to help. Looking forward to your response.
