Troubleshooting

“Missing API Key” Error

Solution: Ensure you have:

Generated an API key from your chosen AI provider

Entered it in the plugin settings

Saved the settings

“API returned HTTP 429” (Rate Limited)

Solution:

The AI provider is rate-limiting your requests

The plugin will automatically retry with exponential backoff

If it persists, try switching AI providers or wait a few minutes

Consider upgrading your API plan with the provider

“Model not found” Error

Solution:

The model name may be deprecated

The plugin auto-updates deprecated models to current versions

Try switching between Groq and Gemini to find a working option

“Invalid JSON Response” Error

Solution:

The AI model returned unexpected format

This is usually temporary – try again

If persistent, check your API key validity

Consider using a different AI provider

HTTPS is recommended for all API calls

Performance Tips

Use Groq AI for faster responses (recommended)

Set lower temperatures (0.0-0.3) for more consistent results

Batch operations when creating multiple coupons

Monitor rate limits and adjust request frequency
