Support FAQ
When will I hear back?
We are currently only able to guarantee agent support to users on paid plans. To make sure your inquiry is assigned appropriate priority if you are on a Pro, Unlimited, or Enterprise plan, please ensure you submitted your ticket by heading to the Runway web app and clicking the speech bubble in the top right corner of the screen.
After you submit a ticket via the chatbot, you may close out the chat widget. Someone will reach out to you as soon as possible. Submitting multiple ticket via the chatbot may delay a response.
For users on a paid plan, please expect a response 1-3 business days after your submission. Our support team does not reply on weekends, overnight (Eastern Standard Time), or during holidays.
Does the support team offer phone or chat support?
No, we don't currently offer phone or live chat with human agents. Our AI assistant can solve most common issues instantly through chat. For complex matters requiring human attention, we provide ticket-based support from our team.
Is support automated or will a real person help me?
Initial support is provided through an AI assistant, which can instantly answer common questions and solve many issues. For complex problems that the AI can't resolve, your case will be escalated to our human support team who will respond via our ticketing system. All support tickets are reviewed and addressed by real people on our team.
I have a Standard or Free plan. What kind of support can I expect?
For product questions, please first use the AI Assistant and then refer to our Discord community for further questions.
If I send you another ticket, will you reply faster?
No, and submitting multiple tickets for the same issue may delay a response in certain cases. We strongly recommend submitting a single ticket for a single issue, as spreading details across multiple tickets can create challenges when trying to fully address questions or concerns.
However, there are certain cases where a follow-up, or replying to the email associated with your existing ticket, can be useful.
Sending a reply to your initial ticket will be beneficial in these cases:
- Something has developed about the problem/case
- You have more information to provide (screenshots, screen recordings, console log errors, etc.)
What if I submitted my ticket via your AI assistant?
If you submitted a ticket via our chatbot or AI assistant, you should receive an email from us with your ticket number. You can respond directly to that email if you need to add additional information to your ticket.
