Support & Troubleshooting

Having issues with Luz de Arcanos? Find solutions to common problems below.

Common Issues

Daily Limit Reached

Error message: “Alcanzaste el límite de 5 consultas por día. Volvé mañana para seguir explorando.” Solution: You’ve used all 5 of your daily consultations. The limit resets 24 hours after your first consultation of the day. This limit is tracked in your browser’s localStorage.
To check your remaining consultations, the system tracks usage locally. If you need more consultations, you can:
  • Wait for your 24-hour window to reset
  • Use a different browser (each browser has independent limits)
  • Run your own instance with your own Gemini API key

Form Validation Errors

Error message: “Por favor ingresa tu nombre” or “Por favor ingresa tu consulta” Solution: Both fields are required:
  • Name: 1-60 characters
  • Question: 1-500 characters
Make sure you’ve filled in both fields before submitting.

Invalid Data Error

Error message: “Los datos enviados no son válidos. Revisá el nombre y la consulta.” Solution: This occurs when the form data doesn’t pass validation:
  • Name must be between 1-60 characters
  • Question must be between 1-500 characters
  • Check for any special characters that might be causing issues

Connection Error

Error message: “No se pudo conectar con el oráculo. Verificá tu conexión e inténtalo de nuevo.” Possible causes:
  • No internet connection
  • Server is temporarily unavailable
  • Network firewall blocking the request
Solutions:
  1. Check your internet connection
  2. Try refreshing the page
  3. Wait a few minutes and try again
  4. Try a different network if available

Reading Failed to Complete

Error message: “El oráculo no pudo completar tu lectura. Inténtalo de nuevo en unos momentos.” Possible causes:
  • Google Gemini API is temporarily unavailable
  • API quota exceeded on the server side
  • Server error during processing
Solutions:
  1. Wait a few minutes before trying again
  2. The system has automatic fallback between three Gemini models, so this error is rare
  3. If the problem persists, check the GitHub repository for service status updates
If you see this error repeatedly, there may be a temporary issue with the Google Gemini API service.

Browser Requirements

Luz de Arcanos works best with modern browsers. Minimum requirements:

JavaScript

JavaScript must be enabled for the application to function. The entire consultation flow, card animations, and AI integration require JavaScript.
The application uses:
  • Modern ES6+ JavaScript features
  • Astro Actions for server communication
  • CSS animations for card flips
  • Form validation and submission handling

localStorage

The daily consultation limit (5 per day) is tracked using browser localStorage.
If localStorage is disabled or blocked:
  • The limit tracking won’t work properly
  • You may get fewer or more consultations than expected
  • Private/Incognito mode clears localStorage when closed
To ensure proper functionality:
  • Enable localStorage in your browser settings
  • Don’t block site data for luzdearcanos.vercel.app
  • Note that Incognito/Private mode resets your limit when closed

Supported Browsers

Fully supported:
  • Chrome/Edge 90+
  • Firefox 88+
  • Safari 14+
  • Opera 76+
⚠️ Limited support:
  • Internet Explorer: Not supported (lacks modern CSS and JavaScript features)

Responsive Design

The application is fully responsive and works on:
  • Desktop computers
  • Tablets
  • Mobile phones (portrait and landscape)
The video background and card layout adapt automatically to your screen size.

Privacy & Data

What data is stored?

On the server:
  • Your name and question are sent to Google Gemini API to generate the reading

Third-party services
