Errors and limits

What the common messages mean and how to fix them.

No active subscription

The tools return a message with a link to subscribe, and no data. Subscribe or update your payment details on the billing page. Asking "check my Chickendinner usage" still works without a plan, so you can see your status.

Unauthorised (401)

The key is wrong, revoked, or missing. Create a new one under Dashboard → Connect to AI and update your app. For sign-in connections, disconnect and connect again.

Rate limit

Each account has a set number of calls per minute (shown by check_usage). Over it, the message tells you to retry in a minute.

Unknown or finished event

The game or race has started, finished or was never listed. Ask again and your assistant will look up what's current.

Chickendinner doesn't show in my app

Restart the app fully (quit from the system tray or menu bar), check the URL ends in /mcp, and make sure Chickendinner is switched on in the chat's tools menu.
