What does "Retrying AI requests failed, giving up operation" error mean?

All questions

This message means that the request to OpenAI was denied upon receipt, and there can be several reasons for this:

1. Not enough funds

  • Recently, OpenAI changed their payment rules and you have to prepay to cover for API costs.

2. Token window too small

  • Your request may be spending too many tokens on the prompt. Switch model to one that has a higher token limit

3. OpenAI service disruption

  • If OpenAI's API is temporarily experiencing instability or down time, this may trigger this error. You can check their status here.

There may be more causes, and if we identify them we'll add them here.
