**Updater errors**

*I get "challenge expired" or "bad request" error when running my updater / CLI.*\
Solution: Synchronize your pc time and try again.

*"Request failed with status code 403"*\
Solution: Log into the [whop dashboard](https://whop.com/hub/) once in a while so your license is linked to their system.

*"EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\\\[username]\\\[savedPlace]\\\[foldername]/pepper-cli.exe'"*\
Solution: Close the CLI while updating.

**General errors**

*Everytime you start Pepper you have to reset your key.*\
Solution: Your external (= Internet, not LAN) IP has changed. Usually your internet provider resets your IP every night automatically - you can't change that. Just add resetting Pepper every morning to your daily workflow!
