Troubleshooting
What each message in uxdeck means, in its own words, and the one thing to do about it.
Checked against uxdeck on 16 October 2026
uxdeck tells you when something did not work, in a toast at the bottom of the screen, a banner, a chip in the top bar or a card over the file. Most messages already say what to do. This page lists them by what they are about, with a little more help where you might need it.
Many plan messages come with a See plans button that opens the plans in Settings.
