Clockwise will recognize certain keywords to inform whether Lunch should be synced that day.  If you have a meeting on your calendar with words "Lunch" in it, Clockwise will assume you manually scheduled your lunch block and will not create a duplicate hold.

If you're confused as to why a lunch event was not created, scan your calendar to see if an event may be considered a lunch meeting. If you'd like your Lunch event to persist, consider renaming the meeting.

Clockwise may think you already scheduled a lunch

Clockwise will recognize certain keywords to inform whether Lunch should be synced that day.  If you have a meeting on your calendar with words "Lunch" in it, Clockwise will assume you manually scheduled your lunch block and will not create a duplicate hold.

You may be looking too far in the future

Clockwise optimizes your schedule for the current week, and the following 2 weeks (3 weeks total). If you're looking more than 2 weeks in the future, you won't see lunches scheduled.

Business & Enterprise plans: Your smart holds will schedule 4 weeks in the future.

Clockwise may think you're out of office

Clockwise recognizes events that indicate you're out of office, and will not schedule a lunch on these days. Scan your calendar to see if there are any such events. You can either decline an invitation to a colleague's out of office event, or update the category.
