Troubleshooting

"Chromium required" error

If you see this error, click on it and choose "Install Now" to automatically install Chromium. Alternatively, run npx playwright install chromium in your terminal.

Chromium fails to launch (containers / minimal servers)

On minimal environments like LXC containers or headless servers, Chromium may download but fail to launch due to missing system libraries. Install the browser with its OS dependencies:

npx playwright install --with-deps chromium

This runs apt-get install for the required libraries (libnss3, libgbm1, libasound2, etc.). Requires root or sudo.

"Session key and organization ID not configured"

Make sure you've set both credentials in Settings → Claude Quota

Quota not updating

• Check your internet connection
• Verify your session key is valid (they can expire)
• Get a new session key from your browser if expired

HTTP 403 errors

Your session key may have expired. Get a fresh session key from browser cookies.

Known Issues

• Session keys expire periodically and need to be updated manually
• The extension may break without warning if Anthropic changes their internal APIs (see footer disclaimer)
