FAQ & troubleshooting
The questions people ask most, and what to check when something doesn't work.
About SunBot
Can you win real money with SunBot?
No. SunBot's coins are play money for your server: they're never sold, can't be bought and can't be cashed out, and neither can SunCoin. The only thing for sale is a server's plan.
What does the free plan include?
Every game, the economy, moderation and the dashboard, on every server and with no time limit. Finishing /setup also gives you 7 days of Basic. The paid plans add extras for big communities: see Plans compared.
Which languages does SunBot speak?
English and Ukrainian, chosen per server in /setup or on the dashboard's Config page.
Is my server's data kept private?
SunBot keeps what it needs to run the economy (ids, balances, levels, game history) and never what people write. /deletedata deletes your profile on a server; the privacy policy has the rest.
Plans and payments
How do I upgrade?
Run /premium on your server and pick a plan: the checkout is on Whop, and the plan switches on by itself once it's paid.
How do I cancel or change my subscription?
Subscriptions renew every month. Cancel any time in your Whop account; the plan stays active until the end of the paid month.
Is the payment secure?
Payments go through Whop. SunBot never sees or stores card details.
What happens to my settings when a plan ends?
Nothing is deleted. The server goes back to the free features, the paid extras stop (the bot's own look comes back, for example), and everything returns if you renew.
When something doesn't work
The slash commands don't show up.
Type / and wait a second: Discord sometimes takes a moment. If they still don't appear, check that SunBot is in the member list and that the channel lets members use application commands (channel settings → Permissions → Use Application Commands). Moderation commands only show to members with the matching permission.
The bot can't give a role (shop, levels, role buttons).
Discord only lets a bot give roles below its own. In Server Settings → Roles, drag SunBot's role above the roles it should hand out, and make sure it has Manage Roles.
There was no Monday paper this week.
It's printed only after a week with a few players in it, so a quiet week is skipped. It also needs a channel it can post in (announcements, events or the bot's channel) and the switch on the Games page.
A game says it's turned off.
An admin switched it off. Dashboard → Games or /admin → Features turns it back on.
A feed stopped posting.
A feed that fails ten checks in a row pauses itself; the Feeds page says why. Fix the source or the channel permissions and switch it back on.
Someone lost coins to a bug.
Every change to a balance is logged, so it can be checked. Open a ticket with /support and say when it happened.
Still stuck?
Use /support in Discord, DM the bot, join the support server, or email iwannahelp@sunbotapp.com. Messages reach the developer directly.
