OpenAI Elevated Error Rate?


For the past few days, and especially yesterday and today I'm getting loads of failures with 429 errors saying either server error or the model is overloaded, on gpt3.5-turbo via the API. There's not much on the status page. Are others experiencing this?

It happens all the time, it's not a good idea to build any serious products on their API, we are still early in the AI offerings, there will be better alternatives, I would look to the open source models you can host yourself

FYI, 429 is too many requests, that is your error not theirs
