There are two things that could be causing what you're seeing.
"Temporary service Issue" when submitting
This is an intermittent connectivity error on the Companies House side — nothing is wrong with your filing or your TinyTax account. Your accounts data is completely safe.
To retry: go to your dashboard, find the relevant company and period, and work through the filing to the Submit Accounts to Companies House step, then click Submit again. A connection failure like this never actually reaches Companies House, so retrying won't create a duplicate and you won't be charged again.
If it fails again immediately, wait an hour and try once more — these errors usually clear within a few hours. You can also search GOV.UK for "Companies House service status" to check for any known outage.

Accounts showing "pending" for several days
Pending means Companies House received your filing and it's sitting in their processing queue — it's not an error. Most filings are processed within a few hours on a working day, but Companies House does not process filings on weekends or bank holidays.
Today is Sunday, so any submission from last week will be waiting for Monday morning processing. Check again tomorrow — if it is still showing as pending after 2 full working days from Monday, reply here with the company name and number and we'll investigate.
