Troubleshooting

The fixes for the problems we see most, roughly in the order we see them.

A PDF won't render

Almost always a formatting rule. Open the Editor and check, in order:

  1. Dates — must be YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD; end dates may be present.
  2. Skill groups — every group needs at least one item; delete empty groups.
  3. Phone — needs a country code (+1 …) or should be empty.
  4. Website / socials — websites need https://; LinkedIn and GitHub are bare usernames, not URLs.

The full list with examples: Previewing & exporting PDFs. Data imported from a PDF or edited via chat can slip past the checks the questionnaire enforces — that's why renders that "always worked" can suddenly fail after an edit.

Tailoring fails or hangs

  • Retry once — tailoring is a long operation and occasionally times out.
  • Check the job's captured description on the Jobs board. If the capture is empty or garbled, the tailor has nothing to work with; edit the job or re-capture it.
  • If your base resume won't render (above), tailored renders fail too — fix the base first.

"Rate limit" or "too many requests"

You've hit a daily usage limit on your plan tier. Limits reset daily; see Account, beta & plans. If a limit is genuinely in your way, email us.

Something else, or something broken

  • Report a bug from the Help page — the report button sends it straight to us, and you can include what you were doing when it broke.
  • Email support@rezai.me for anything a bug report doesn't fit — account issues, billing, feedback, or just a question.

When reporting, the two most useful things you can tell us: what you expected, and what happened instead.
