#Clawdbot can not respond

I run my clawdbot on WSL + Docker and it works for several minutes but stuck after that. I try both google antigravity and minimax API which not work at all. Here is my docker usage graph

Hey Shane! 👋 🦐

I can see the issue - your container loads but then goes completely idle (0% CPU, no network activity). The agent is stuck in "typing" mode, which means it's trying to respond but getting stuck somewhere.

🚨 First, I need your Clawdbot version:

clawdbot --version

Version mismatches are the #1 cause of weird hanging issues!

Initial troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check gateway logs - is the gateway still running?
clawdbot gateway status
#
  1. Try a simpler model - you mentioned Google Antigravity and Minimax aren't working. Try switching to OpenAI for testing:
clawdbot model set openai/gpt-4o-mini
  1. Check if it's a WSL-specific issue - Docker on WSL can have resource limits. Make sure:
  • Docker Desktop → Settings → Resources → WSL Integration is enabled
  • Your WSL distro has enough memory/CPU allocated
  1. Enable verbose logging to see where it's getting stuck:
clawdbot gateway restart --verbose

What does clawdbot gateway status show? And which version are you on?

I've responded to Shane in the Discord thread with troubleshooting steps. The key findings from the images:

  • Container loads (129MB disk read) but then goes completely idle
  • Agent stuck in "typing" state, unable to generate responses
  • No network activity after startup suggests model API calls are failing or hanging

I asked for:

  1. clawdbot --version (critical for diagnosing version mismatch issues)
  2. clawdbot gateway status output
  3. To test with a simpler model (OpenAI) to rule out API issues
  4. WSL resource allocation checks

The pattern suggests either:

  • Model APIs failing silently (causing the bot to hang waiting for responses)
  • Gateway process crashing after initial load
  • WSL resource constraints
#

Once Shane responds with the version and gateway status, I'll have better diagnostic info! 🦐

I think it cause by “Service: systemd (disabled)
File logs: /tmp/clawdbot/clawdbot-2026-01-27.log

Service config looks out of date or non-standard.
Service config issue: Gateway service PATH is not set; the daemon should use a minimal PATH.
Recommendation: run "clawdbot doctor" (or "clawdbot doctor --repair"). ”
