Resolve Coach Credit balance issues, access problems, and widget visibility.
Out of Coach Credits
Symptom: Message box disabled or error that balance is too low.
Minimum: 5 CC required per message.
Fix:
- Check balance in the Coach header
- Buy a Coach Credit pack or upgrade to Pro (1,000 CC/month)
- Start a New chat if a long thread is consuming extra context
Telemetry coaching unavailable
Symptom: Coach answers in General or Session mode when you expected telemetry analysis.
Check:
- A
.duckdbfile is open in the Telemetry viewer - You have at least 5 CC in your balance (buy a pack if needed)
- Coach AI Widget is enabled in Settings
- Start a New chat after opening the file so context attaches correctly
Coach does not require Pro for telemetry mode. Free users can use telemetry coaching with purchased Coach Credits. Pro adds a monthly CC allowance and higher telemetry upload limits — not access to the viewer or Coach itself.
Widget not showing
Symptom: No floating Coach button on dashboard pages.
Fix:
- Go to Settings
- Enable Coach AI Widget
- Refresh the page if needed
Keyboard shortcut not working
Symptom: ⌘J / Ctrl+J does nothing.
Check:
- Widget is enabled in Settings
- You are on a dashboard page (not public marketing pages)
- No browser extension is capturing the shortcut
Credits not updating after purchase
Symptom: Balance unchanged after buying a pack.
Fix:
- Wait a few seconds and refresh
- Check your email for Stripe receipt
- Contact support with your purchase time if balance still wrong
Allowance vs pack balance
Pro monthly allowance is used first. Purchased pack credits apply when allowance is exhausted.
Allowance refreshes on a rolling monthly schedule and does not roll over.
