Troubleshooting

  • Silent hang after > — the LLM provider is slow or unreachable. Check hiveloom logs for provider errors.
  • 401 unauthorized from the provider — credential is invalid. Rotate it per the Credentials page.
  • context length exceeded — your conversation is longer than the model’s window. Start a new session, or inspect hiveloom compaction-log for compaction signals.
