Hey folks , getting this error on a lot of my OpenAI columns for some reason all of a sudden? Any ideas as to why this might be and how to rectify? Its basically crippling my apps functionality ![Screenshot 2023-10-17 at 12.47.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/a/3a0df1bf010798bb25adb9e347eb2a6a501c225b.png) ---

I have the same issue but with actions ---

Is this perhaps related to OpenAI limitations for your account type? Maybe even needing to top up your account? ---

Its happening less now but still happening. It happens on certain columns at certain times. Not an issue with API limits either , way below monthly limit. Can anyone from the support team look into this? ---

@Emmett_M definitely a problem that must be solved. The user cannot do anything about it. Not ok for business plan ![image001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/6/76822a20686bf0043fd0a10467b8a222c845820e.png) ---

Is the rate limit the issue for you or separate? I do not have this error. I’ve also changed my API key but still getting the errors. ---

Yes, it is an intermittent issue. For the last 2 weeks, I have faced this problem almost with one action, and it is working from time to time, depending on the task I ask him to do. ---

I have changed max tokens and everything and it only works occasionally. I have a feeling that Glide automatically times out if it takes OpenAI too long to respond. I looked up the OpenAI forums and apparently GPT-4 has been quite a bit slower in the last 2 weeks: > **[OpenAI Why Are The API Calls So Slow? When will it be fixed?](https://community.openai.com/t/openai-why-are-the-api-calls-so-slow-when-will-it-be-fixed/148339)** > > This is a question for OpenAI, why are the API calls not the same speed as the Playground? 2 weeks ago it was bad and I tought OK, you guys will fix it but no, it’s much worse today!.. Responses are taking over minute, do you realize how... A few things could be useful here: 1. Does Glide automatically time out at certain point if no response is received? @david 2. Is there a way to increase the time before Glide times out? 3. Is there a way to set a condition in Glide Actions to go down a new path if Glide returns an error like The user aborted the request? ---

Here are some other things I have tried that haven’t worked: - Buy credits to increase rate limits with OpenAI - Changing max length - Generated a new API token with OpenAI Edit: After investigating this further I have identified: 1. User abort issue happens with gpt-4-0613, gpt-4-0314, gpt-4 2. It works with: gpt-3.5-turbo Edit2: I tested the exact same request in Postman using gpt-0613: The request worked - the response time was exactly 2 minutes: ![CleanShot 2023-11-02 at 10.08.14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/7/170109d8c45bdf8cd924890eacf15d481c72c1cd.jpeg) * * * I also found this forum post in relation to the CallAPI: > [@Error: "Call API: AbortError: The user aborted a request."](https://community.glideapps.com/t/error-call-api-aborterror-the-user-aborted-a-request/65596): > > Hi Glide Community, I set up some API calls using the experimental feature last Friday and everything worked. Now, I’m getting repeated errors with the same API. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. No changes were made to the API since Friday. Reached out to support yesterday around 2 PM, awaiting a response. Has anyone faced this or have any insights? Thanks, Chase **It seems like when Glide times out, the API aborts a request, so longer responses like for gpt-4 requests are likely going to be aborted.** ---

I’ve only been using gpt-3.5-turbo and still having the issue. Again , for probably the last 2 months I had no issues with the same config only up until recently did i notice some columns not generating and giving this error. ---

Yeah, if you check out the OpenAI forum post, you will see that there were are few others having issues with GPT-3.5-Turbo. It looks like it is related to tiers that OpenAI has put users on. You get promoted through different tiers, as you pay more for API usage. Some people have solved slower reponses times by buying credits and moving up in tiers. It seems to be a reasonable new issue. ---

Interesting , I would still like to hear from the Glide team on what they can see from their backend thats prompting the error within Glide columns. I;ll keep trying some different configs in the meantime ---

We’re still experiencing this issue, so we’ve swiftly shifted all functions from GPT-4 to its 3.5 Turbo. While this has had some impact on performance, it’s restored the application’s output delivery capabilities. We’re currently on standby for a resolution to this bug and would greatly appreciate any expedited support on this. @Jason @ThinhDinh ---

I also moved our AI App Designer from gpt-4 to 3.5-turbo to work around this issue. ---
