Error codes of the AI API, in OpenAI error format, and what to do for each.

The AI API returns errors in OpenAI format. OpenAI SDKs read them as normal errors.

{"error": {"message": "The budget for this key or account is spent.", "type": "insufficient_quota", "code": "budget_exceeded"}}
Status code Cause What to do
400 invalid_request The body is not valid. The message tells why. Fix the request.
401 invalid_api_key The key is wrong, rotated or revoked. Check the key.
402 budget_exceeded The key budget or the monthly account budget is spent. Raise the key budget, or wait for the next month (UTC).
403 model_not_allowed The key cannot use this model, or the model does not exist. Add the model to the key, or fix the model name.
413 request_too_large The request is too large. Send less input.
429 rate_limit_exceeded More than 60 requests in one minute on this key. Wait and retry with backoff.
502 upstream_error The model service is not available now. Retry later.
504 upstream_timeout The model took too long to answer. Use "stream": true.
  • Retry 429, 502 and 504 with exponential backoff.
  • Do not retry 400, 401, 402, 403 or 413 without a change.
