Troubleshooting

Here’s how to solve some common problems.
Make sure you have the correct region set. You can adjust the region in the .env file.
This can happen if your email account (Gmail or Outlook) is connected to another service that’s making requests.To fix this you can check what other services are connected to your email account and remove any that you don’t need.For Gmail: Visit https://myaccount.google.com/security and check “Your connections to third-party apps & services” For Outlook: Visit https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/app-access to review connected apps
To solve this you can:
  • Use a different AI model with higher rate limits.
  • Move to a higher tier on OpenAPI that has increased rate limits.
  • Slow down the rate at which you are making requests.
