ElevenLabs Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect all diagnostic information needed for ElevenLabs support tickets. Gathers SDK version, API connectivity, quota status, voice inventory, and model availability while redacting all secrets.

Prerequisites

• ElevenLabs SDK installed
• API key configured (to test connectivity)
• Access to application logs

Step 2: Programmatic Debug Collection

// src/elevenlabs/debug.ts
import { ElevenLabsClient } from "@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js";

interface DebugReport {
  timestamp: string;
  sdk: { package: string; version: string };
  connectivity: { status: number; latencyMs: number };
  subscription: { tier: string; used: number; limit: number; resetAt: string } | null;
  voices: { total: number; cloned: number; premade: number } | null;
  models: string[] | null;
  errors: string[];
}

export async function collectDebugReport(): Promise<DebugReport> {
  const client = new ElevenLabsClient();
  const errors: string[] = [];
  const report: DebugReport = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    sdk: { package: "@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js", version: "unknown" },
    connectivity: { status: 0, latencyMs: 0 },
    subscription: null,
    voices: null,
    models: null,
    errors,
  };

  // Test connectivity + get user info
  const start = Date.now();
  try {
    const user = await client.user.get();
    report.connectivity = { status: 200, latencyMs: Date.now() - start };
    report.subscription = {
      tier: user.subscription.tier,
      used: user.subscription.character_count,
      limit: user.subscription.character_limit,
      resetAt: new Date(user.subscription.next_character_count_reset_unix * 1000).toISOString(),
    };
  } catch (err: any) {
    report.connectivity = { status: err.statusCode || 0, latencyMs: Date.now() - start };
    errors.push(`Auth: ${err.message}`);
  }

  // Voice inventory
  try {
    const { voices } = await client.voices.getAll();
    report.voices = {
      total: voices.length,
      cloned: voices.filter(v => v.category === "cloned").length,
      premade: voices.filter(v => v.category === "premade").length,
    };
  } catch (err: any) {
    errors.push(`Voices: ${err.message}`);
  }

  // Model availability
  try {
    const models = await client.models.getAll();
    report.models = models.map(m => m.model_id);
  } catch (err: any) {
    errors.push(`Models: ${err.message}`);
  }

  return report;
}

// Usage
const report = await collectDebugReport();
console.log(JSON.stringify(report, null, 2));

Step 3: Submit to Support

1. Run: bash elevenlabs-debug-bundle.sh (or the programmatic version)
2. Review the output for any accidentally included secrets
3. Open a ticket at https://help.elevenlabs.io
4. Attach the bundle and describe the issue with:
   • What you expected to happen
   • What actually happened
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Request IDs from error responses (if available)

Output

• elevenlabs-debug-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.tar.gz archive containing:
  • summary.txt — Environment, SDK, connectivity, quota, voices, models
  • config-redacted.txt — Configuration with secrets masked
  • errors.txt — Recent error logs with API keys redacted

Sensitive Data Handling

Always redacted automatically:

• API keys (replaced with ***REDACTED***)
• Webhook secrets
• Any value after = in .env files

Safe to include:

• Error messages and stack traces
• SDK/runtime versions
• Voice IDs and model IDs
• HTTP status codes and latency
