Is Nano Banana 2 Down? Check the Right Status Page First

A static page cannot prove that every Nano Banana 2 surface is up or down. Use the failing surface, its first-party status owner, and the exact error signal to classify the incident before retrying.

Fix OpenClaw Anthropic API Key Error: 401, Missing Auth, OAuth, and Cooldown

OpenClaw Anthropic API key errors need an owner-first read: prove whether Anthropic auth is missing, the key is rejected, OAuth cannot refresh, an env var overrides config, the selected model is unavailable, or OpenClaw is only showing a provider cooldown after an earlier failure.

OpenClaw API Key Error Fix: 401, No API Key, 429, and Gateway Auth Routes

OpenClaw API key errors do not have one universal fix. Start with status, gateway status, logs, doctor, and models status, then route the error to the owner shown in the log: provider auth, gateway token, model cooldown, request shape, context pressure, or Docker environment override.

Fix OpenClaw context_length_exceeded: Context, Tool Output, and Failover Diagnosis

Getting context_length_exceeded in OpenClaw? First prove whether the request truly exceeded the selected model context window, or whether a rate-limit/fallback/cooldown path surfaced as a context error. Then compact, split the task, reduce tool output, trim workspace injection, or switch model routes.

Fix OpenClaw Invalid Beta Flag: Current Beta Header, Bedrock, Vertex, and Proxy Diagnosis

OpenClaw's current provider layer no longer makes 'set beta_features to []' the right first answer. On modern builds, non-direct Anthropic-compatible endpoints suppress implicit Anthropic beta headers, Bedrock has its own AWS-auth provider path, and 1M context is only sent when `params.context1m` is explicitly enabled. This guide shows the current diagnosis path.

Nano Banana Pro "Unsupported File URI Type"? Fix the Gemini File Route

If Nano Banana Pro says "Unsupported file URI type," the useful first move is to identify the rejecting Gemini surface. Native Gemini `file_data`, OpenAI-compatible `image_url`, GCS registration, public URLs, and local file paths do not share one URI contract.

OpenAI "File Type Not Supported"? Fix the "Try Again With a PDF" Error

If OpenAI says your file type is not supported and tells you to try again with a PDF, the useful first move is to identify the rejecting surface. Current official OpenAI docs are not blanket PDF-only, but some lagging Azure or connector paths still behave that way.
