Where am I going wrong with the following:

\documentclass[a4paper,timesnewroman,12pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,lmargin=1.25in,rmargin=1in}

\usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage{emptypage}
\usepackage{tocloft}


\usepackage[Babel]{csquotes}
\usepackage[authordate, backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{Overleaf.bib}

I have used every \cite command there is. I would just like to use the Author date CMS 17th Version, but I am truly going insane trying to figure what I am not doing right.

    \usepackage[Babel]{csquotes} will produce an error, because the option is called babel with a lowercase b. The babel option is deprecated in favour of autostyle, though, so replace the offending line with \usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}. (This is probably not the main issue for you. But it is the only visible problem with the code shared so far. And it is an error and hence should be fixed.) – moewe Feb 08 '23 at 20:37
  • Apart from the csquotes call, your code looks OK. But the snippets you have shown are not a full document, so we don't know exactly what you are doing. Normally the problem with bibliographies is that you need to run Biber on your document. A full comilation cycle no longer just involves LaTeX (which can be any of pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, ...), but instead needs at least LaTeX, Biber, LaTeX, LaTeX. This is explained brilliantly in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63852/35864. ... – moewe Feb 08 '23 at 20:41

    ... Most users have their editors do the compilation for them, in which case https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864 helps with making the editor run Biber. Did you make sure you ran Biber on your document? (Your code has Overleaf.bib. If you use Overleaf, Overleaf will automatically run Biber for you, so you don't have to worry about this.) ... – moewe Feb 08 '23 at 20:42
  • ... If you did run Biber and still you don't get citations and a bibliography, there must be an error in your .tex code or .bib file. Check the .log file (LaTeX's log) and .blg file (Biber's log) for any warnings and errors. Fix them if you can. Edit your question to ask about the errors you cannot fix yourself. Make sure to include code that allows us to reproduce your errors. – moewe Feb 08 '23 at 20:43

    OP asked a very similar question in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/674809/35864. They didn't respond to any questions here, so it's probably best to concentrate on the other question. – moewe Feb 11 '23 at 07:30
