Fix: WhatsApp AI Command Not Working
Fix !ai command issues. Daily limit reached, server load, and quota resets.
!ai fires but returns nothing or a generic error. Usually quota, network, or system prompt issue.
Confirm the symptoms
- !ai → no reply or "AI is currently unavailable".
- !ai works but cuts off mid-sentence.
- Different chats: AI works in one, not in another.
30-second quick fix
- Check Dashboard → AI → Usage. If at daily cap, wait for reset or upgrade.
- Test !ai in DM with bot to isolate group config.
Root causes
1. Daily quota hit
Free tier: 10/day.
- Wait or upgrade.
2. Provider outage
Groq/Gemini intermittent.
- Auto-falls back to other provider; ride it out.
3. AI disabled in this group
Per-group !ai lock.
- Dashboard → Groups → enable.
4. Prompt safety block
AI refuses disallowed content.
- Reword.
Detailed resolution
- 1
Check AI usage
Dashboard → AI → Usage. If you see "10/10 today", quota hit.
- 2
Test in DM
Isolates group-specific config.
- 3
Try a different prompt
If your prompt was edgy, the safety filter may have blocked it.
- 4
Check dashboard logs for AI errors
Dashboard → Logs → filter "ai".
Expected result
!ai works again with a normal response.
