Errors, stalls, and disappointing results

Errors, stalls, and results that aren't what you wanted — the three most common problems, each with its own fix.

Case 1: You got an error

Case 2: It's stuck

Symptom What to do
Keeps generating with no progress for a long time Refresh the page and re-enter this app — your chat history is still there — then send "continue"
A popup says you're out of credits Click "Top up" in the popup; once the credits arrive it resumes automatically, no need to start over
Deployment failed Click "Retry" on the deploy card; if it keeps failing, send "help me check why the deployment failed"

Case 3: The result disappoints you

Don't just say "it doesn't look good" — explain what exactly is off, and check the result against your words afterwards:

Don't say Say instead
It looks bad The home page is too empty — enlarge the three feature cards and tighten the spacing
It's wrong The button should be blue, but it's gray
Redo it Keep the current layout, just replace the title with two lines of large text

Scared to change things? Roll back (see the previous chapter) — going back and retrying costs nothing.
