# Real Time Attribute FAQs

Review the following FAQs to help resolve any questions about your real-time attribute deployments.

## Can I resolve a real-time attribute configuration deployment failure by adding new attributes to the parent segment?

No. It will not resolve the configuration deployment. Treasure AI recommends that you request assistance from an administrator to troubleshoot the configuration failure.

## Is the configuration status available in the Data Workbench and the Audience Studio?

**Yes, the configuration status is available in both. The Audience Studio also includes existing journey states such as draft, live, and paused.**

## Can I add new attributes while configuring a real-time attribute type?

No. The **Add Attributes** button is disabled to prevent the interruption of the current configuration.

## Why did my expired counter drop to zero?

Counter attributes are not deleted when their events expire. Events within a counter are evicted from the real-time store once they exceed the counter's configured duration. When all events within the duration have been evicted and no Batch Backfill value has refreshed the base, the counter returns zero — but the attribute and its configuration remain intact.

### When can I delete an attribute?

You should delete an attribute when confident it is not used in any journeys or configurations; otherwise, a journey or configuration might fail if it is removed.
