## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Common Errors

| Error | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| `401: Unauthorized` | Check your bot token |
| `403: Forbidden` | Bot lacks permissions |
| `404: Not Found` | Invalid channel/guild/role ID |
| `429: Too Many Requests` | Wait, script handles this |
| `50013: Missing Permissions` | Bot role is below target role |
| `50001: Missing Access` | Bot can't see the channel |

### Debug Mode
