# Troubleshooting

> Common Plivo CLI errors and what to do about them.

| You see | It means | Do this |
| - | - | - |
| `AUTH_MISSING` (exit 2) | No credentials found | `plivo login` — since v1.1.2 the CLI no longer reads credentials from the environment |
| `AUTH_INVALID` / `AUTH_EXPIRED` (exit 2) | Wrong or expired credentials | Re-run `plivo login` |
| `DESTRUCTIVE_REFUSED` (exit 5) | A spend or delete command ran without `--yes` | Add `--yes`, or `--dry-run` to preview |
| `RATE_LIMITED` on `ask` / `diagnose` | Per-account limit on assistant requests | Wait for the interval in the message |
| `NETWORK_ERROR` (exit 3) | Could not reach Plivo | Check connectivity or VPN; `--log-level debug` shows the request |
| `ssh not found, needed for the localhost.run tunnel` on `streams forward` | The default tunnel shells out to `ssh`, which is missing | Install an ssh client, or use ngrok instead with `--tunnel ngrok` |
| The tunnel never comes up on `streams forward` | localhost.run was unreachable or refused the connection | Retry, or switch provider with `--tunnel ngrok` (needs ngrok on `PATH`) |
| `interactive mode (-i) can't be combined with -o json` | Input is piped, so JSON output was selected | Add `-o table` |
| Table output looks truncated | Tables show a curated subset of fields | Use `-o json` for the full API response |

Still stuck? `plivo ask "<what you see>"` usually knows, or open an issue on the [Plivo CLI issue tracker](https://github.com/plivo/plivo-cli/issues).
