| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Review takes 15+ minutes | PR has 1000+ changed lines | Split into smaller PRs |
| No review posted | PR targets non-configured branch | Add branch to base_branches |
| Reviews on generated files | Missing path_filters | Add !**/generated/** to path_filters |
| Too many nitpick comments | Profile set to assertive | Switch to chill for experienced teams |
| Config changes not applied | YAML syntax error | Run @coderabbitai configuration to verify |
| Review on draft PR | drafts: true in config | Set drafts: false to skip drafts |
