| Generate does nothing | A required value may be missing or invalid. | Check numeric inputs and select a supported mode; try a small range and count. |
| The minimum is greater than the maximum | The range endpoints were reversed. | Set a lower minimum than maximum, then regenerate. |
| Unique draw cannot produce enough values | The requested count exceeds the eligible integers or precision-based values. | Reduce count, widen the range, relax step constraints or allow repeats. |
| Too many duplicate numbers | Unique mode is off or the eligible set is narrow. | Enable unique mode if the task requires distinct outcomes and verify range size. |
| Decimal values look rounded | Chosen decimal precision or output formatting limits digits. | Increase supported precision and review export settings and display behavior. |
| A negative number is not generated | The minimum and maximum may not include negative outcomes. | Enter a negative bound and review any step filter. |
| Lottery line appears different from official rules | Game preset definitions or official rules may differ. | Check current lottery operator rules and use a correctly configured custom game if appropriate. |
| Dice expression is rejected | The notation may be unsupported or malformed. | Use documented dice syntax such as 3d6+2 and check operators. |
| Coin toss gives a long heads streak | Random sequences can naturally contain repeated outcomes. | Run a larger sample for illustration; do not expect every short sequence to balance. |
| Picker seems to favor one person | The entry list may contain repeated names or unequal entries. | Clean the eligible list and determine whether duplicate entries should count. |
| Seeded result cannot be reproduced | The seed, mode, count, range, precision or configuration may differ. | Restore the complete settings and generator implementation before comparison. |
| Crypto option fails | The browser may not support or permit the Web Crypto interface. | Use an updated secure browser; do not substitute Standard mode for secret material. |
| Histogram looks uneven | Samples are too small or bins obscure the shape. | Increase trial count and interpret the distribution statistically rather than visually alone. |
| Large batch generation is slow | Very large sets can strain memory or interface rendering. | Try smaller batches and close resource-heavy browser tabs. |
| CSV opens with unexpected columns | Spreadsheet separators or locale settings differ. | Use the import wizard and select the intended delimiter. |
| Leading zeros disappear in Excel | The spreadsheet automatically treats code strings as numbers. | Import the numeric codes as text rather than general numeric cells. |
| PDF export does not include the intended set | A different result or mode may be active. | Regenerate or select the correct history entry before exporting and verify the file. |
| Saved presets are missing | Browser storage may have been cleared or you changed profiles. | Check the same browser profile and restore available exported backups. |
| The tool does not load offline | The page resources may not have been cached on the device. | Connect once to load the app; test offline operation before relying on it. |
| Sensitive codes appear in history or downloads | Local history and exported files may retain generated values. | Delete sensitive records, avoid sharing exports and follow organizational secret-handling policies. |
| No developer API endpoint is available | The API is on the roadmap rather than deployed. | Use current browser features or a separately supported integration. |
| Winner announcement is challenged | The draw rules, list or seed timing were not documented. | Keep input records and a pre-agreed independent audit procedure for important contests. |
