# Invalid Token has been provided / TOKEN\_INVALID

You have one of the following issues with the bot token in your code:

1. You have provided an invalid token in your code. Reset it on the Discord Developer Portal, then paste the new token into your code.
2. You are not loading the token correctly. If you are using a `config.json` file, follow the discord.js guide on how to load it. If you are using a `.env` file, make sure that you are using the dotenv module correctly. Check the package documentation or contact their support if needed.

{% hint style="info" %}
This issue is unrelated to the hosting service. It originates from your code. The server runs what you upload to it, nothing more and nothing less.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bothosting-net.gitbook.io/bot-hosting.net/troubleshooting/invalid-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
