TikTok Slash and Free Not Working | Easy Fix

The TikTok “Slash & Free” (Slash It) feature often stops working not because of a server outage, but because of strict anti-fraud protections.

If you are seeing errors like “Assistance Failed,” “System Busy,” or “Limit Reached,” here is what is likely happening and how to fix it.

1. Common Error: “Assistance Failed” / “System Busy”

This usually means TikTok has flagged your device or network as “suspicious.” This prevents you from slashing prices for yourself or others.

• The Cause:

  • You and the person helping you are on the same Wi-Fi (IP address).

  • You are trying to use an “alt” account on the same device.

  • You have clicked too many links in a short time.

• The Fix:

  • Disconnect from Wi-Fi: Both you and your friend should switch to Mobile Data (4G/5G). This assigns a fresh IP address and often bypasses the error.

  • Wait 1 Hour: If you spammed clicks, the system soft-bans you. Stop clicking any links for an hour to let it reset.

2. The “Stuck at 99%” Trap

If the price is stuck at $0.01 or a very low number and existing users are no longer slashing the price:

• The Reality: This is not a glitch; it is the game mechanics.

• The Rule: After a certain point (usually around 90-95%), TikTok stops accepting “Existing Users” to slash the price. You are rigidly required to invite a “New User” (someone who has never downloaded TikTok) or a “Returning User” (someone who hasn’t opened the app in 30+ days) to cut that final $0.01.

3. Feature Won’t Load / Blank Screen

If the Slash & Free page itself isn’t loading, it is likely a cache issue within the TikTok app.

• Clear TikTok Cache:

  • Go to your TikTok Profile > Menu (☰) > Settings and Privacy.

  • Scroll down to Free up space > Clear Cache.

  • Note: This won’t delete your drafts or videos.

• Update the App:

  • This feature breaks frequently on older versions. Check the App Store/Play Store for an update.
