Troubleshooting

Run clauded status first; most problems are already spelled out on that screen. For anything else, see the table.
| Symptom | What to do |
|---|---|
| Claude Code reports connection refused | The background service is not running: clauded status starts it for you, or click "Start" in the GUI |
| Works in the terminal, not in the editor | clauded ide install, then restart the editor; the Home tab's "Editor integration" also names the cause |
| "This device has been removed" | The device was removed from the account — run clauded login to bind it again |
| "No account assigned" | Your subscription has not been assigned a dedicated account yet; wait for the console notification or ask your admin. Nothing is wrong on your machine |
| "Bound account temporarily unavailable" | The gateway is reassigning your account. Just wait — there is nothing to do |
| Desktop app certificate error | clauded cert install (asks for administrator approval once) |
| It says claude cannot be found | With the system preference nothing is downloaded: switch with clauded config claude source managed, or install a copy yourself |
| Only the web version works | Your own account is a free-tier one — the CLI, editors and desktop app require a paid account |
| Nothing connects right after an update | An update stops the old background service; run clauded status or clauded once to bring the new one up |
| The GUI will not open on Linux | There is no Linux build of the GUI; use the command line |
| Installed, but the command is not found | Open a new terminal; if it persists, run ~/.local/bin/clauded install to add it to your PATH |
Still stuck
Turn logging on, reproduce the problem, and send us the log together with your status output:
clauded log on
# reproduce the problem
clauded status
clauded log off The log is at ~/.clauded/logs/daemon.log. Per-request logging records full request and response bodies, so check the file before sharing it, and run clauded log off when you are done.
