Recommendations not showing up
Started using Optimize. Clicked in recording, saw the queries coming.
Stopped the recording. Clicked in the recommendations: "There are no recommendations just yet, they will appear after you end your recording.". Out of 9 recording, I only got recommendations in 2. Is that a bug in your UI?

You chose to compile with the bot. One moment while I piece together your answer…
Based on the official Prisma documentation, recommendations in Prisma Optimize are generated after you end a recording session, but they only appear if Optimize detects patterns or issues in the queries that match its current set of recommendations (e.g., excessive rows returned, unindexed columns, full table scans, etc.)Recordings. If your queries during a recording session do not trigger any of these known issues, the recommendations tab will remain empty, and you’ll see a message like “There are no recommendations just yet, they will appear after you end your recording.”
This behavior is expected and not necessarily a bug in the UI. It simply means that, for those particular recordings, Optimize did not find any optimizable patterns based on its current recommendation set. Recommendations are only shown when relevant issues are detected in the queries captured during the sessionRecommendations.
If you believe there should be recommendations (e.g., you intentionally included problematic queries), or if you consistently see this issue even with complex workloads, it could be worth reporting to the Prisma team via their Discord or GitHub for further investigation, as there may be an edge case or a bugKnown limitations.
In summary: Not every recording will generate recommendations—this is by design, not necessarily a UI bug. If you suspect otherwise, consider reaching out to Prisma support.
🤔 Alright, thanks for letting us know that there's still some help needed. A team member will reply to you shortly.
In the meantime, please let us know any additional info, questions, or which parts of the answer may need clarification.
Sounds like expected behavior. Optimize won’t show any problems if there weren’t any. I agree that our UI could be improved on this.
The problems are there because if I start recording again they may show up.
