"Missing Access" or 403
Cause: The bot hasn't been invited to the server, or lacks permission for that channel.
Fix: Re-invite the bot via OAuth2 URL Generator with "Send Messages" + "Embed Links" scopes, and check channel-specific permission overrides.
"Unknown Channel"
Cause: user_id (channel ID) is wrong or the bot cannot see that channel.
Fix: Right-click the channel in Discord (Developer Mode on) → Copy Channel ID, and confirm the bot has access to it.
401 "Unauthorized: Invalid API key."
Cause: Your eConnect Authorization header is missing, malformed, or the key was regenerated/revoked.
Fix: Copy your api_key fresh from the eConnect dashboard and confirm the header reads exactly "Authorization: Bearer <key>".
429 "Too many requests"
Cause: You've exceeded your plan's per-minute rate limit.
Fix: Wait a minute and retry, or upgrade your plan for a higher per-minute limit.
429 "Monthly API limit exceeded"
Cause: You've used your plan's full monthly request allowance.
Fix: Wait for your next billing cycle reset, or upgrade to a plan with a higher monthly limit.
