Your bot is idle because there is no place for the bot to go and nothing for it to do. No pokestops to visit, no pokemon to catch. So, it will act like what normal lazy botters do (like us), it will just sit down and wait, until pokemon popped.

Different reasons could cause this:

- Your radius is too small, it's not covering any pokestop at all. Check your setting and enlarge your radius as big as you can and check if you can see any pokestop within that circle.

- There is no pokestop in that area, you might have accidentally selected an area where there is really no pokestop. Try using a known pokestop-heavy coordinates. Be careful with this, because you are changing your location, you may need to wait for some time depending on new location, or you will be viewed as teleporting.

- Soft IP ban. This ban prevents pokestops and pokemon from showing on the map. Unlike other softbans, this is not normally associated with any of your account, so don't worry too much, your account is safe. Instead, this soft ban is directed at the IP that you are using, and normally caused by too many requests from the same IP address. How many instances and devices are you using? Malls and shopping centers can never recover from this temp soft ban because of too many cheap customers are using public wifi instead of using their own data plans. (just guess how I know this) You will know if you have an IP softban when you try to log in to your other accounts using the same IP and each one of them gives you the same problem. If one account is okay, then it is not an IP ban. As far as I know, IP ban is just a temp ban. It's not the house owner's fault that too many kids and visitors decided to play pogo in his house at the same time. Waiting time takes minutes to hours.

- Glitch from Niantic server. It is actually very common, and most people think that they are soft IP banned, when in fact, they are not. I get this problem even when I am using my phone. All I do is completely log off, close the program, and restart again, and it works all the time. If it doesn't work the first time, I just try it again. (Similarly, when I get "fail to authenticate error", I just do the same thing) While some of the data are already downloaded on your phone, those pokemon and pokestops are fetched fom the server and provided by Niantic server. (That's what API is for). If the client fails to completely communicate with the server, your device may still run the program, but it will not show any data that are supposed to come from Niantic Server. It really depends on the problem, authentication error for example will prevent you from running the program at all. Try closing and restarting again, it may fix the problem.

- Have you tried running the same bot using the same key using different accounts using different computers at the same time? I made this mistake during the early days of PF when I forgot to log off from the house, and brought my other laptop during my travel and tried to log in from the hotel. I hope you don't because that will give you this problem right away.
