There was an issue processing your request. This is typically due to the question size or current rate limitations. To help get your answer, please try:
• Clearing the conversation

Dear shwetapra0706,
Thank you for your question, via Katalon docs, I hope I can provide some help here, feel free to test these out:
The error is triggered by one or more of these factors:
- Large project context: Projects with many test objects (especially 200+) can cause timeouts
- Multiple files in conversation: Each file attached adds to the context, increasing token usage
- Complex code explanations: Asking StudioAssist to explain large code blocks
- API rate limits: Rapid consecutive requests to the AI service
There are a few solutions
Solution 1: Clear the Conversation (Recommended First Step)
Steps:
- Open the StudioAssist chat window
- Click the “Clear conversation” button
- Try your question again
Why this works: All files attached during a conversation are used as context until cleared. The more files included, the higher the chance of hitting token limits or rate limits.

Solution 2: Turn Off Project Context
Steps:
- Go to Katalon Studio Preferences → StudioAssist
- Uncheck “Auto-include project context information”
- Click Apply and Close
- Try your question again
Why this works: Disabling auto-context prevents StudioAssist from loading all project object IDs, which reduces token usage and prevents timeouts in large projects.

Solution 3: Break Your Question Into Smaller Pieces
Steps:
- Instead of asking one complex question, break it into multiple smaller questions
- Ask each question separately in the chat
- Clear the conversation between different topics
Example:
Don’t do: “Explain this entire test case file with 500 lines of code”
Do: Ask about specific methods or sections one at a time

Solution 4: Verify Your License and Version
Steps:
- Ensure you’re using Katalon Studio 9.4.0 or later (error handling was improved in version 10.x)
- Verify you have a KSE (Katalon Studio Enterprise) license - StudioAssist requires Enterprise license since 9.4.0
- Check that AI features are enabled at your Account level (contact your Account Owner if disabled)
Why this matters: Older versions had more issues with rate limiting and error handling. Enterprise licenses have better API access.

Solution 5: Optimize Your Prompts
Best practices for prompts:
- Use bullet points for multiple actions instead of long paragraphs
- Specify the application type (Web, Mobile, or API test)
- Include specific details (URLs, app IDs, etc.)
- Avoid attaching large files to the conversation
Example of a good prompt:
Generate a web test case that:
* 1. Opens the URL https://example.com
* 2. Logs in with username and password
* 3. Clicks the submit button
* 4. Verifies the success message
