Fix · Problems with AI tools

The AI tool says I reached my usage limit or it is too slow

What you may see

I cannot continue until a time later
The bill is higher than expected

Most likely cause

Plans give a limited amount of work per period; long chats, big files and repeated tries use it up quickly.

Check first (about two minutes)

Read the exact message and when the limit renews.

The fix prompt

What you type here never leaves your browser. The search runs on this page, and nothing is sent to a server or to an AI.

The exact error or what you see

What you did before it happened

Kept only in this browser, on this device. Keys and passwords are removed before anything is saved.

Prompt language

You are a careful senior engineer who reviews work done by AI coding tools, keeps projects safe, and explains everything to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
Plans give a limited amount of work per period; long chats, big files and repeated tries use it up quickly.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Help me plan work in smaller pieces: one task per chat, only the needed files, short logs.
2. Prepare the next task as a short written request with the files, so no usage is wasted on repeating context.
3. Tell me what to do manually while waiting (reading the diff, testing, collecting content).
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- My next session finishes the task with fewer messages.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not share the account or the key with others to get more usage.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?

Do not set an automatic top-up without a spending limit.
Do not share the account or the key with others to get more usage.
