[Error Loops & Bugs] Does Lovable waste credits on failed bug fixes?
Using 'Try to fix' is FREE and never wastes credits—it scans logs, detects issues, and attempts quick fixes without consuming your plan's credits. Agent mode prompts do consume credits. Plan mode costs only 1 credit per message. Use 'Try to fix' liberally, and Plan mode to investigate before spending Agent mode credits.
[Error Loops & Bugs] How to fix error loops / AI going in circles?
Break the loop by: 1) Click 'Try to fix' (free button that scans logs and fixes ~60% of simple issues), 2) Use Plan mode to investigate the problem before Agent mode tries again, 3) Revert to a stable version and re-prompt with clearer instructions, 4) Check Cloud → Logs for specific errors. Divide complex changes into smaller prompts.
[Error Loops & Bugs] What to do when Lovable breaks your entire site?
Don't panic—use version history to revert: scroll up in chat, press 'View History', select an older stable version and restore it. Restoring creates a new edit card; nothing gets lost. You can reapply changes after reverting. Alternatively, click 'Try to fix' (free), or use Plan mode to carefully investigate before Agent mode tries again.
Every prompt I send results in an error. The editor is unusable.
Try refreshing the page, clearing browser cache, and switching browsers. If errors persist only on one project, it may have a corrupted state—contact support with your project URL and error details. Check status.lovable.dev for any service-wide issues.
The editor worked yesterday but now everything errors.
This is likely a temporary service issue. Check status.lovable.dev first. Try again in 30 minutes. If it's project-specific, try opening a different project to confirm. Contact support if the issue lasts more than an hour.
Do I lose credits when an internal error occurs?
If a prompt fails with an internal error before processing, credits typically aren't deducted. If you notice credits were consumed during an error, contact support with the error ID and timestamp—we'll review and credit your account if it was our fault.
How long do internal errors usually last?
Most internal errors are temporary and resolve within a few minutes. If you're experiencing persistent errors (more than 30 minutes), it may be a larger service issue. Check status.lovable.dev for updates.
I keep getting internal errors on every prompt.
If every prompt fails, try refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or switching browsers. Check status.lovable.dev for service incidents. If the issue is only with one specific project, contact support with your project URL and the error ID.
What does 'An internal error occurred' mean?
This means something went wrong on Lovable's servers while processing your prompt. It's usually temporary. Wait a moment and try your prompt again. If it keeps happening, check status.lovable.dev for any known issues or contact support with the error ID.
