Quick Answer

Start by checking whether the issue is caused by account access, plan status, browser state, or a temporary service incident. Then follow the step-by-step checks below to isolate the root cause quickly.

Step-by-Step Fix

  1. Confirm the exact problem

    • Write down the exact error message or failed action.
    • Check whether the problem affects only one account, one browser, or every environment.

  2. Check account and plan status

    • Verify you are using the correct account/workspace.
    • Confirm your subscription, credits, or permissions are still active.

  3. Rule out local browser/app issues

    • Sign out and sign back in.
    • Clear cache/cookies for the service.
    • Disable extensions temporarily and test in incognito mode.

  4. Check official product signals

    • Review the help center, billing page, admin settings, or status page.
    • Look for recent outages, incident notices, or policy restrictions.

  5. Escalate with evidence

    • Save screenshots, timestamps, and request IDs if available.
    • Share the exact steps to reproduce the issue with support.

Common Root Causes

  • Wrong account or workspace
  • Expired plan, credits, or missing permissions
  • Browser cache, cookies, or extension conflicts
  • Temporary product incident or rollout bug
  • Rate limits, quotas, or policy restrictions

Prevention Tips

  • Keep one clean browser profile for important workflows
  • Document which account owns billing and admin access
  • Check limits and pricing before heavy usage
  • Save links to official status and help pages for faster troubleshooting

How to fix OpenClaw 401/invalid API key errors for cron jobs?

A 401 error in OpenClaw cron jobs means the Anthropic API key stored in your agent's environment is invalid, expired, or missing — regenerate it from console.anthropic.com, update the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable in your OpenClaw workflow, and re-run the job. This error does not indicate an OpenClaw account problem; it is an Anthropic API authentication failure passed through to your cron output.

How to report a OpenClaw bug effectively (what to include)?

A well-structured OpenClaw bug report gets resolved 3 to 5 times faster than a vague one — include the exact error message, the run ID from the dashboard URL, your agent configuration YAML (with API keys removed), the sequence of steps that reproduces the issue, and your OpenClaw plan tier. Submit via the support form at openclaw.com or paste it into the #bug-reports channel on their Discord.

How to fix OpenClaw git push failing in automation (auth/DNS/network)?

Git push failures in OpenClaw automations are caused by one of three things: missing or expired credentials (no SSH key or PAT configured in the worker environment), DNS resolution failures in OpenClaw's container network that block GitHub/GitLab domains, or a repository permission issue where the token lacks write access. The fix in 90% of cases is adding a valid Personal Access Token with repo write scope to your OpenClaw workflow environment as GIT_TOKEN or configuring SSH key authentication.
