@GeetaSarvadnya did you restart the browser? There is throttling on the crash upload and sometimes it doesn't show up until you restart

[GeetaSarvadnya]

@bridiver I have restarted the browser also Automatic crash switch was turned ON in settings page

@GeetaSarvadnya this is the expected behavior. Crash ids are uploaded every hour or on restart

[bridiver]

// This currently implements very simplistic rate-limiting, compatible with
  // the Breakpad client, where the strategy is to permit one upload attempt per
  // hour, and retire reports that would exceed this limit or for which the
  // upload fails on the first attempt.
  //
  // If upload was requested explicitly (i.e. by user action), we do not
  // throttle the upload.
  //
  // TODO(mark): Provide a proper rate-limiting strategy and allow for failed
  // upload attempts to be retried.

[bridiver]

@GeetaSarvadnya if more than one hour passes without uploading then there might be an issue we need to look at

Closing as this is expected behavior
