AI response problems

When PawOS doesn’t respond, or tools don’t work.

  • Check your internet connection — Paw’s reasoning needs to be online.
  • Check Settings → Usage — if you’ve reached your plan’s usage limit, responses pause until it refreshes or you upgrade.
  • If Paw answers questions but won’t take actions, confirm you’re on Paw Pro or higher — actions such as file edits, commands and installs need Pro.

How it works

What you see

  • What to check for common situations: sign-in, commands, installs, PATH, connections, usage limits, payments, previews and builds.
  • What PawOS already checks for you, and what to gather before trying again.

What PawOS does

  • PawOS reports problems in the task view, Work Records, connection status and check results.
  • For commands, installs, builds and tests it shows the real output.

Permissions

  • Never bypass permission questions or run unsafe commands to get past a problem.
  • If a plan, connection permission, local permission or administrator approval is missing, retrying won’t help until that changes.

Records

  • Useful details: the task, what it was doing, the command and its result, file paths, check results, and a screenshot if something looks wrong.

Good to know

  • Some fixes happen outside PawOS — in a service’s dashboard, your system settings or your account.
