FAQPage Schema

How do I auto-heal OpenClaw when Telegram stops replying or the control UI disconnects?▼

To auto-heal OpenClaw when Telegram stops replying or the control UI disconnects, you run a safe repair script that verifies the LaunchAgent installation, probes health and channels, and applies restart cooldowns to restore service connectivity without altering configurations by default.

What is the best way to fix gateway token mismatch error 1008 in OpenClaw?▼

The best way to fix gateway token mismatch error 1008 in OpenClaw is to execute the recovery workflow with the sync-token option, which aligns the gateway remote token with the gateway auth token to re-establish secure authentication.

Do I need to perform a deep-clean to repair OpenClaw health when it goes offline?▼

You do not need to perform a deep-clean to repair OpenClaw health when it goes offline, as the default stability-first mode safely restores service by checking LaunchAgent and probing health; deep-clean is an optional mode to purge local session caches.

How does the restart cooldown mechanism work during OpenClaw self-healing?▼

The restart cooldown mechanism during OpenClaw self-healing works by triggering a service restart only if health checks fail twice consecutively, enforcing a 30-minute cooldown period to maintain system resilience and prevent aggressive recovery loops.

Can I run OpenClaw self-healing scripts without affecting my existing token configuration?▼

You can run OpenClaw self-healing scripts without affecting your existing token configuration because the default stability-first mode performs safe first-pass repairs that ensure service installation and health monitoring without touching tokens or config files.

Why does OpenClaw fail to recover automatically after a browser control UI disconnects?▼

OpenClaw might fail to recover automatically after a browser control UI disconnects if the LaunchAgent is missing or the gateway tokens are mismatched; running a guarded auto-heal script ensures installation, token sync, and health probes to repair the disconnection.
