Troubleshooting

Possible causes
  • The bot is temporarily unable to attach mei.jpg
  • Discord embed rendering is delayed
Fix
  • Retry the command
  • Verify the bot files are intact on its host
Possible causes
  • Registration flow has not completed
  • OAuth flow was interrupted before callback finished
Fix
  • Run /register and complete the browser flow in one session
  • Ask your bot administrator to verify AUTH_SERVICE_BASE_URL and OAUTH_CONTEXT_SIGNING_SECRET
This is usually caused by a client-side interaction display issue. If it continues, restart the bot and check for updates.
