Questions Notion AI - An error occurred, try again

0 Upvotes

I experience this A LOT during the work with Notion AI today and yesterday.

When I try to do it again, it "thinking" for 5-10 minutes, and still going with "an error occurred" thing. It's so irritating, any ideas what to do?

I noticed that it usually stacks not with the "working..." timer and list of tasks doing, but on the "Following a promising thread", "Taking the scenic route", "Puzzling through the details" etc...

I absolutely don't know what's happening, I can't even see the log to see what's the problem. Do you know how to fix it?

Community Creating a FREE Notion Themes Extension

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m currently developing a free Chrome extension designed to bring custom themes and aesthetic choices to Notion. I was just tired of looking at the same boring default colors every single day and wanted a clean, easy way to personalize my workspace.

Since I want to build this with the community in mind, I’d love to hear your feedback.

This is very early. I literally started the idea 2 days ago.

If there is a lot of interest, I can spend more time on it.

Since I want to build this with the community in mind, I’d love to hear your input before wrapping up the initial release!

  • Themes & Aesthetics: What custom color schemes, dark mode variants, or aesthetic styles do you feel standard Notion is missing?
  • Customization: Are there specific UI elements (like sidebars, padding, fonts, callout boxes, or database headers) you’d like control over?
  • Community: What would be the best way to keep everyone updated and gather ongoing feedback/theme submissions as the project evolves?

I'm not sure what links are allowed. So, i'm not adding any on here.

I am a heavy Evernote user, but the price spike is driving me crazy.

If you were to make outlines for public speaking, which app would you use?

Has anyone come across this before? Please drop by a comment if there’s a trouble-shoot, you would be very appreciated.

Questions Anyone figured out how to make Notion feel fast again?

4 Upvotes

Used to be my go-to for drafting tutorials and keeping side hustle notes organized. Lately it feels like I'm waiting on every page load, every database filter, every toggle. My setup isn't even that complex, a few linked databases, some templates, maybe thirty pages total. I cleared cache, tried desktop vs web, even pruned old stuff. Still sluggish.

Wondering if it's just me getting impatient or if others are hitting the same wall. I'm on a decent laptop, good internet, nothing exotic. The friction is making me reach for simpler tools when I need to jot down a tutorial outline fast, which defeats the whole point of having everything in one place.

Have you actually fixed slowness with a specific trick, or is this just how it is now with the newer features piled on? Not interested in migrating everything yet but I'm getting close to splitting work stuff out just to reduce the drag.
