Two questions:

How do we clear a stuck session and get him responding again?
How do we optimize response speed for simple text messages? We tested ping to api.deepseek.com from VPS and got ~1ms, so the connection is fast. But responses still feel slow compared to when Roger ran locally on Windows. Is there a way to reduce latency/overhead on VPS?"

First: please paste openclaw --version — version mismatches cause a lot of “stuck” behavior.

To unstuck him, try in chat first:

/stop
/reset soft

If that doesn’t recover:

/reset

or start clean on the intended model:

# 
/new deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash

If chat commands don’t respond, use Control UI → Sessions and delete/reset the stuck session row, or restart:

openclaw gateway restart

Last resort, back up the agent session store instead of deleting it:

STATE_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}"
AGENT_ID="main"
mv "$STATE_DIR/agents/$AGENT_ID/sessions" \
# 
   "$STATE_DIR/agents/$AGENT_ID/sessions.bak.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
openclaw gateway restart

That keeps auth/config intact but clears session history for that agent.

For speed: ping only proves network RTT. The delay is often queue/debounce + context assembly + memory + model first-token latency, not raw connection speed.

Fast wins to try:

/think off
/verbose off
/trace off
/reasoning off
# 
/usage off

Use deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash for quick replies, not pro/reasoner. Also reduce inbound debounce if simple messages feel artificially delayed — Discord defaults are often ~1–2s batching:

{
  messages: {
    inbound: {
      byChannel: {
        discord: 300
      }
    }
  }
}
