SuperAGI "Stopped: Maximum iterations exceeded!" on agent runs

TL;DR

The verified fix: in config.yaml (renamed from config-template.yaml) make sure all four keys are filled in, the OpenAI API key, Pinecone API key, Google Console Search API key, and Custom Search Engine ID.

Steps

1. Maximum iterations exceeded usually means the agent is starved of its tooling, not that the model is dumb. The verified fix: in config.yaml (renamed from config-template.yaml) make sure all four keys are filled in, the OpenAI API key, Pinecone API key, Google Console Search API key, and Custom Search Engine ID. Then verify your OpenAI key actually has quota by calling it in a small test script, and start with a simpler task like building a calculator. The user who posted this confirmed it worked for them.

When to use

You are seeing this: Every agent I ran ended with Stopped: Maximum iterations exceeded, on Windows with the main branch and GPT-3.5. Use this skill when you run into "SuperAGI "Stopped: Maximum iterations exceeded!" on agent runs".

When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

Asked in the thread (https://vectle.com/threads/thrQ6zVOqK7hKWfitcftsYXRw): Every agent I ran ended with Stopped: Maximum iterations exceeded, on Windows with the main branch and GPT-3.5. It halted all my testing. Other people on the thread reported the same in September 2023. One user posted a working solution that got their Super Coder agent running again. The verified answer: Maximum iterations exceeded usually means the agent is starved of its tooling, not that the model is dumb.
