AI Not Responding

A turn that hangs, stops early, or finishes without building anything — how to tell which one you have, and what to do about each.

Quick checks

  1. Look above the composer. If a question card is pinned there, the turn is paused waiting on you. Answer it, or click Skip — use your best judgement.
  2. Look at the step counter. If it is still counting up, it is working. A single step is allowed up to three minutes, so silence is normal.
  3. Reload the page. A running build lives on our servers, not in your tab — reloading reattaches to it and replays the live feed.
  4. Send `continue`. Anything already built is still in Studio, and continue resumes from that point.
  5. Press the red Stop button, then resend a smaller version of the request.

It is paused on a question, not stuck

Revix asks up to four questions when a genuine fork would change what gets built. The card is pinned above the composer, not in the transcript, so it is easy to miss when you have scrolled up.

While it is open the composer is disabled and the placeholder reads:

Answer the question above to continue...

Scroll to the bottom, answer, and work resumes in the same turn. Answering does not cost anything extra, and waiting costs nothing at all.

It is thinking, and the silence is normal

A long quiet stretch usually means one of three things, none of them broken:

  • It is reading your place. Big places take a while to search.
  • It is running one long operation in Studio. Anything that takes more than a minute inside Studio is stopped and reported, so it will not hang forever.
  • It is generating a map or another large batch. Those genuinely take minutes.

Two displays tell you which: the Thinking panel shows its reasoning as it streams, and the step list shows every action with a spinning dot on the one in flight. If either is moving, leave it alone.

If contact with Studio really does break during a single command, you will see:

Studio stopped responding to that command. Make sure the place is still open and the Revix plugin is connected, then send "continue".

The turn ran out of room

Every turn has hard ceilings: 120 steps, and one hour of wall clock. Hitting either ends the turn cleanly — nothing is rolled back.

You will see one of these, word for word:

That was too big for a single run. Everything so far is saved — send "continue", or split it up (e.g. "build the UI" then "wire the scripts").

Paused here — everything built so far is saved in Studio. Send "continue" to finish.

One step ran too long and was cut off. Send "continue" and I will retry it, or narrow the request if it keeps happening.

What to do:

  1. Type continue and send it. That is the whole fix for the first two.
  2. If it runs out of room a second time on the same request, stop resuming and split the job instead:
text
Forget the rest for now. Just build the shop UI in StarterGui — the panel, the item rows and the close button. Do not write any scripts yet.

Then, in a new message:

text
Now wire that shop UI up: clicking an item should fire a server check and deduct coins.

The connection to the model dropped

This one recovers by itself most of the time — a dropped stream is retried automatically before you ever see it. When the recovery fails you get:

The connection to the model dropped mid-build. Your progress is saved in Studio — send "continue" and I will pick up where I stopped.

The model is overloaded right now. Give it a few seconds and send "continue".

Wait ten seconds, then send continue. If it happens three times in a row on the same request, the request is probably too large in one go — split it as above.

The plugin dropped mid-build

A full-screen card appears:

Plugin Disconnected — The connection to Roblox Studio was lost. The AI has been force-stopped to prevent incomplete changes or wasted credits.

The turn is stopped on purpose so you do not pay for work that cannot land. Click Got it, get the plugin connected again (Plugin won't connect), then send continue.

The turn ended with nothing to show

You get a card reading "That one stopped early" — "Anything it already built is still in Studio. Want to pick up where it left off?" — with two buttons:

  • Keep going resumes the same turn from where it stopped. Try this first.
  • Start that again re-runs your original message from scratch.

If it stops early repeatedly on the same prompt, the prompt is usually the problem: it is either too vague to act on or too big to finish. Rewrite it as one concrete outcome.

Sending is blocked entirely

What you seeWhat it means
"This chat already has a build running. Wait for it to finish or press Stop first."One build per chat. Press Stop, or open a new chat.
"You are out of credits. Top up in the store and your next message will go through."See Credits and billing.
"I cannot build that one. Rephrase the request and I will pick it up."The request was declined. Rephrase it and send again.
"Input is limited to 200 words."Trim the message. Long prompts do not build better.
"Your session expired. Sign in again and resend the message."See Account and login.
Sending opens the plugin install guideNo connected place. See Plugin won't connect.
"We are having some trouble" with a Join Discord buttonSomething went wrong we want to look at directly. Please do open the ticket.

Things that do not kill a running build

  • Closing the tab or switching to another app.
  • Reloading the page.
  • Your laptop going to sleep.

Stop is the only thing that ends a turn from your side, and it works through the server, so it survives a reload too.

Still stuck?

Note the exact wording on screen, the step number it reached, whether the plugin stayed connected, and the prompt you sent. Post them in the Revix Discord: discord.gg/SDtaPGkUP4.
