2 year old Suddenly won't use potty

We have been potty training my 2 year old since Friday and initially it was going well (no poos in the potty but a lot of wees). However she hasn't done one since 11am yesterday...suddenly not wanting to sit on the potty anymore and having much more accidents. And running off from the potty when I try to put her on when a poo is coming. I feel really disheartened. Does anyone know why this is and how I should handle it today please? I wondered if I've been mentioning it too much and if I should continue or just stop for a while? Or perhaps continue but leave it to her to come to the potty when she is ready rather than remind her so frequently. Thanks

Bribery! We did stickers for every wee in the potty. And then when she had an accident, we were v neutral about it. "Oh, there's wee on the floor/in your knickers. Wee should go in the potty! Next time, if the wee goes in the potty, you can have a sticker."

She's maybe just not ready. Try again in a few months.

We had this recently with my DS, turns out he just wanted to use the big toilet rather than the potty. We’re also still working on the poo in the potty/toilet but pretty much every pee when we’re in the house is in the toilet now.
