Hi @蒋安立 ,

Generally, the standard workflow is to address the cause of the failure (e.g., broken tests or conflicts) and then re-add the PR to the queue:

  1. Fix the Issue: Push a new commit to the source branch to fix the build failure or resolve conflicts locally.

  2. Re-add to Queue: Once merge checks pass again, select Add to Merge Queue on the PR page

👉 Now, if you'd like to bypass it, I think you can configure merge queues in repo settings (admin only)

  1. Navigate to Repository Settings > Merge queues.

  2. Select the ... (more options) menu and choose Deactivate.

  3. Go back to your PR; the button will change from "Add to Merge Queue" to Merge.

Official announcement for merge queues for the cloud is here. 🆕

You could also troubleshoot this by trying to clear the queue and checking branch restrictions that Bitbucket uses (if any).

Cheers,
Tobi
