# Common issues

## The bot is offline.

This rarely happens but when it does it's usually for one of these reasons:

* Discord outage (check Discord status [here](https://status.discord.com))
* Server outage (check PixxieBot's server status [here](https://status.pixx.ie))
* Scheduled bot maintenance (find out more info in [our support server](https://pixx.ie/support))

To get updates and find out the reason for this downtime, check the status channel in [our support server](https://pixx.ie/support). If there's no news about any outage, please notify a staff member.

## I just voted for PixxieBot on Top.gg but haven't received my voting reward.

There are two possible scenarios:

### 1. Top.gg's API is slow or failed to send the notification to our bot.

If this is the case, it usually catches up within an hour. If so, we usually notify you of this in the status channel of [our support server](https://pixx.ie/support). If you still haven't received your voting rewards an hour after voting and we haven't posted an update notifying you of a Top.gg problem, please contact us in [our support server](https://pixx.ie/support).

### 2. Our voting manager is offline or encountered an error.

This is extremely rare, however, if we haven't posted an update in [our support server](https://pixx.ie/support) notifying you of a problem with Top.gg, and our voting manager is not showing [any recent downtime](https://status.pixx.ie/), please contact us so we can investigate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pixx.ie/troubleshooting/common-issues.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
