26+

## Writing an effective subject and description
43+
44+
Providing a clear subject and description will help us resolve your issue faster.
45+
46+
- **Subject**: write a short and clear title that summarizes the issue (e.g., "Instance not starting after configuration update", "API call returns 500 error for all requests").
47+
48+
- **Description**: write a detailed description to help us resolve the issue faster. Here are a few tips on how to write a ticket description:
49+
50+
### Clearly describe the issue
51+
- **Context:** explain when and where the problem occurs.
52+
Example: “The issue occurs when attempting to start an Instance after applying a configuration update in the Scaleway console.”
53+
54+
- **Expected behavior:** explain what you expected to happen.
55+
Example: “The instance should start within 2 minutes without errors.”
56+
57+
- **Actual behavior:** describe what is happening instead.
58+
Example: “The Instance remains in "Starting" status for over 10 minutes and then switches to "Error".
59+
60+
### Include relevant technical details
61+
62+
- **Environment details:** mention your operating system, tools, or SDKs (e.g., “Ubuntu 20.04, Scaleway API v2, Python SDK.”)
63+
64+
- **Logs or error messages:** include any logs, request/response payloads, or error codes (e.g., “API call GET /instances returns 500 Internal Server Error.”)
65+
66+
### Add supporting files
67+
68+
Attach screenshots (png, jpg), or files (pdf).
69+
Examples:
70+
- Screenshot of the Scaleway console
71+
- Screenshot of the network tab of your browser’s Developer Tools (right-click anywhere on the page and select **Inspect**. Go to the **Network tab** in the Developer Tools panel.)
