# Troubleshooting

### If Beast Era is not responding to your commands check the common issues below:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Check Permissions" %}
​Beast Era needs the following permissions to work properly:

{% hint style="success" %}
This is the most common issue!
{% endhint %}

Make sure Beast Era has the below permissions in the channel you are trying to run the commands in.

* Read Messages
* Send Messages
* Embed Links
* Use External Emojis
* Add Reactions
* Read Message History
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Check If Beast Era is Online" %}
Make sure Beast Era is online.\
\
You can do this by clicking on Beast Era in your server and checking it's status if it shows that it's playing a game.\
You can even check #announcement in our [support server](https://discord.gg/bX6AT65PmP).

{% hint style="success" %}
Beast Era is mostly online and has a 95.6% uptime.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Check The Prefix" %}
Check if you have changed the prefix of the bot from `+`.\
\
You can get the latest prefix of the bot by @mentioning Beast Era. Though the global prefix `beast` cannot be changed so you can use `beast help` to get the latest prefix too.

{% hint style="info" %}
By Default the bot has two prefixes:

* `+` (Customizable Prefix)
* `beast` (Global Prefix)
  {% endhint %}
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Contact Support" %}
If these steps have not worked please reach out to our support team in our support server [here](https://discord.gg/bX6AT65PmP).\
\
Feel free to ask in the support channel or dm the bot owner `BEAST#2802`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before dming the bot owner you should try asking in support channel. If none responds then dm the bot owner.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://beast-era.gitbook.io/doc/other/troubleshooting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
