Troubleshooting Auth

Start here when connection or credential state is the main problem.

Useful Commands

• grok whoami
• grok login
• grok wait
• /connect

Common Cases

• not connected: no usable xAI key was found
• invalid: the key exists but failed validation
• rate-limited: one or more stored xAI accounts are temporarily blocked

Best Next Step

• use /connect for guided repair
• use grok login when you want a simple CLI key prompt
• use grok wait only after Grok Code has actually recorded rate-limit state
