The engine is currently overloaded, please try again later : issue in my locally installed open claw with the help of kimi claw

Hi @pv_vimalnair, @aosog, and others experiencing this issue ā sorry for the trouble.
To help us investigate, could you please DM me the following details depending on your setup?
For local / self-hosted deployments (Open Claw):
- Your API ID (the UUID-style string you see at https://www.kimi.com/code/console, e.g.
19e05e00-c5c2-8b20-8000-0000e71a7085) - Your endpoint, model id, and other relevant configuration details
Never share your sk-kimi-xxxsecret key with anyone.
For Kimi Claw (hosted):
- The Bot ID from your chat URL. For example, if your chat URL looks like
https://www.kimi.com/bot/chat/19e05e00-c5c2-8b20-8000-0000e71a7085, please send me that ID (19e05e00-c5c2-8b20-8000-0000e71a7085).
With that info I can check the status on our side.
Also, āengine overloadedā can be triggered by a few different edge cases, so itās hard to diagnose from the error message alone. I had ran a few quick tests on my end and things seemed normal, but that doesnāt rule out an issue specific to certain accounts or regions. Once I have your details, Iāll take a closer look.
Thanks for your patience!
Here we are again. This is useless
āThe engine is currently overloaded, please try again laterā
How can anyone use this service when it is just so useless?
Been like this on and off all day and now it is permanently unavailable.
Nothing wrong on my end.
