Common Issues

   • Verify API key format: sk-ant-...
   • Check account status and credits
   • Ensure API access is enabled

2. "Rate limit exceeded"

   • Anthropic has generous rate limits
   • Implement exponential backoff
   • Contact support for higher limits

3. "Context too long"

   • Claude handles very large contexts well
   • Consider reducing file context if needed
   • Use appropriate model for your needs
