Inspect the “Frequency” rules in the editor.

Countdown Timer

If using a countdown timer, check if it has expired.

For an evergreen countdown timer, confirm it’s configured to stop showing the ConvertBox upon expiration. If the timer was triggered during your previous view and has now expired, the ConvertBox won’t reappear for you.
