When to use it

✓Use it to accept a manageable request or confirm that a plan will work. It often sounds confident and can imply a practical commitment.
✓Add the commitment when useful: 没问题,我明天发给你 (méi wèntí, wǒ míngtiān fā gěi nǐ), “No problem, I’ll send it to you tomorrow.”
✓If someone agrees to help with 没问题, 谢谢 (xièxie), “Thank you,” acknowledges the offer; then confirm any necessary details.
✓After a minor apology, 没关系 or 没事 is often a clearer reassurance. 没问题 can also reassure, so this is a difference in usual emphasis rather than a ban.
✓If you cannot promise the result yet, explain what you need to check instead of giving an unqualified 没问题.
