Common issues

The bot is not responding to any commands

Check the bot privileges for that channel. It has to be able to read and send messages for that particular channel

!server is not showing player names and score

Check if server cvar host_players_show is set to 2, otherwise all player names are hidden by the server

The ping is incorrect

The bot itself is pinging the server so this depends on the internet connection the bot has

The connect link is not doing anything

If you have a password protected server, for some people the password input window from steam is not focussing and pops up in the background sometimes
