Common Errors
See an error message? We’ve got solutions.
Error: “Plan Limit Reached”
Section titled “Error: “Plan Limit Reached””What it means: You’ve hit the limit of QR codes for your plan.
| Plan | Limit |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 codes |
| Starter | 50 codes |
| Pro | 500 codes |
| Business | Unlimited |
Fix:
- Delete old codes you no longer need. This frees up space to create new ones.
- Deactivate codes instead of deleting (they stop working but you can reactivate).
- Upgrade your plan for more codes. See Plans & Pricing.
To delete: Open a code, click the three dots (⋯), and choose Delete.
To deactivate: Open a code and toggle the Active switch off. The code stops working but you can turn it back on anytime.
Error: “Session Expired”
Section titled “Error: “Session Expired””What it means: Your login session timed out. This happens when you leave the app idle for a while.
Fix:
- Sign in again — click the sign-in button and enter your email and password.
- If you’re in the middle of creating a code, your draft was probably saved — go to the dashboard and look for it.
- Try refreshing the page (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R) and signing in again.
Prevent it: Signing in on a new browser or device? Check “Keep me signed in” on the login form.
Error: “QR Code Not Found”
Section titled “Error: “QR Code Not Found””What it means: The code you’re trying to access doesn’t exist or was deleted.
Why it happens:
- The code was deleted by you or a team member.
- The code was deactivated (no longer active).
- You don’t have permission to access it.
- The URL is wrong.
Fix:
- Go back to your dashboard and find the code in your list.
- If it’s not there, check the Trash or Archived section (if your team has one).
- If a team member deleted it, they should be able to restore it (contact them).
- If you think this is a mistake, contact support.
Error: “Network Error” or “Connection Failed”
Section titled “Error: “Network Error” or “Connection Failed””What it means: Your device can’t reach Qrius servers. Could be your internet or a server issue.
Fix:
- Check your internet — open another website (google.com) to confirm you’re connected.
- Wait a moment — if Qrius servers are down, we’re probably already fixing it. Try again in 30 seconds.
- Refresh the page (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R).
- Restart your WiFi — turn off WiFi, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on.
- Try a different network (mobile hotspot, different WiFi) to rule out a local issue.
- Clear your browser cache — go to Settings > Clear browsing data > select “All time” and clear.

Error: “Payment Failed” or “Billing Error”
Section titled “Error: “Payment Failed” or “Billing Error””What it means: Your credit card was declined or your payment didn’t go through.
Why it happens:
- Card expired.
- Insufficient funds.
- Card blocked by your bank (fraud prevention).
- Incorrect card details.
Fix:
- Go to Settings → Billing.
- Click Update Payment Method.
- Enter a different credit card.
- Try the payment again.
If your bank declined it: Contact your bank and ask why the charge was blocked. They might’ve flagged it as suspicious. Once you confirm it’s legitimate, try Qrius again.

Error: “Permission Denied” or “You Don’t Have Access”
Section titled “Error: “Permission Denied” or “You Don’t Have Access””What it means: Your account doesn’t have permission to do that action.
Why it happens:
- You’re viewing someone else’s code and aren’t a team member.
- You’re trying to access an admin feature you don’t have.
- Your team member removed your access.
Fix:
- Ask a team owner to add you back to the team.
- Check your team’s Members page (Settings → Team) to confirm your role.
- If you’re supposed to have access, screenshot the error and contact support.
Error: “Slow Loading” or “Page Takes Forever”
Section titled “Error: “Slow Loading” or “Page Takes Forever””What it means: The dashboard or a page is loading very slowly.
Why it happens:
- Weak internet connection.
- Too many QR codes in your dashboard (loading thousands at once).
- Browser has too many tabs/extensions running.
- Qrius servers are busy (rare).
Fix:
- Check your internet — is anything else slow?
- Close other browser tabs to free up memory.
- Disable browser extensions temporarily (ad blockers, VPNs can slow things down).
- Wait a minute — if servers are busy, traffic clears quickly.
- Hard refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows).
- Clear your browser cache (Settings > Clear browsing data).
If one page is slow but others are fast: That specific page might be loading a lot of data. Try filtering your QR codes list by status or date to load fewer at once.
Error: “Browser Not Supported”
Section titled “Error: “Browser Not Supported””What it means: You’re using an old or unsupported browser.
Fix:
- Update your browser — go to Settings and check for updates.
- Use a modern browser:
- Chrome (latest)
- Firefox (latest)
- Safari (latest)
- Edge (latest)
- If you can’t update, try a different browser.
Qrius works on:
- Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- Mobile (iOS, Android)
- Tablets
Error: “Invalid URL” or “Bad Destination”
Section titled “Error: “Invalid URL” or “Bad Destination””What it means: The URL you entered isn’t valid or doesn’t work.
Why it happens:
- Missing
https://orhttp:// - Typo in the domain name.
- URL too long (over 2000 characters).
Fix:
- Make sure your URL starts with
https://orhttp://. - Check the spelling —
goggle.comwon’t work;google.comwill. - Test the URL in your browser first to confirm it works.
- If it’s a very long URL, consider shortening it with a URL shortener first.
Error: “Code Saving Failed”
Section titled “Error: “Code Saving Failed””What it means: Your QR code didn’t save to the database.
Why it happens:
- Network hiccup during save.
- Your session timed out.
- Server temporary issue.
Fix:
- Try again — click the save/download button again.
- Refresh the page and try again.
- If you’re far into the wizard, your code was probably saved as a draft. Check your dashboard.
- If it keeps failing, contact support.
