Thanks — I see you're hitting an ElevenLabs TTS failure (

APIStatusError: connection closed

, retryable=True) while the agent retries. I can help triage this. Quick questions and immediate checks to narrow the cause: 1. Is

ELEVEN_API_KEY

set and valid in the environment where the agent runs? 2. Can that machine reach ElevenLabs endpoints (e.g., try

curl <https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1>

or DNS lookup)? 3. Are you behind a proxy or firewall that might close outbound HTTPS connections? 4. Are you running a supported plugin/version (ElevenLabs plugin v1.2+)? Which LiveKit / plugin version and Python version are you using? 5. Does this fail consistently or intermittently? If intermittent, how long does it typically retry before erroring? Immediate steps you can try now: • Confirm

ELEVEN_API_KEY

is correct and exported to the agent process. • Test outbound connectivity from the agent host to ElevenLabs (curl or similar). • Temporarily enable verbose/debug logs for the ElevenLabs plugin (set

LK_ELEVENLABS_DEBUG=true

if available) and share the additional logs if the error persists. • Check ElevenLabs’ status page for outages while reproducing the error. Tell me the answers to the questions above and any extra logs after enabling debug — I’ll propose next targeted steps.
