Summary
Sometimes builds do not show up under the Queue section inside the Build > Build activity page. The builds only start showing up on the page once the build starts (under the Building section).
Environment
Issue was seen in 8.0.4 but it can be applicable for other Bamboo versions as well.
Diagnosis
It is important to identify if all builds are in queued state and not seen in the build dashboard or just one. To understand if the build was queued immediately after it got dispatched, then it means that Bamboo did not spend too much time updating the repository cache. It should've appeared in the queue.

It is important to understand here that generally, this issue appears when the builds are actually waiting for the change detection to happen and it is being loaded in the cache. If there are many builds which are referring to the same repositories then it this quite possible that you may encounter this issue.
Solution
Restarting Bamboo could help resolve this issue.
