Hello, non coder here whos been working on some research project here.

Batch ID: batch\_6a2eb80c38f88190b6e34d60b5f7edc5

I have been using the same code for the past 2 weeks or so and come around 6/10, my api que is just permanently stuck in “in progress” phase. The only change was that I loaded $100 more.

I have tried

1. creating new project and new api key

2. reducing number of batches from 500 to 50

3. trying a different sample set in case input data/batch is too large

Sometimes, a few batches go through and it gets stuck to 0/500 eternally vs just gets stuck from the very beginning.

AI recommended filtering my data out prior to make the batches smaller but even the screening phase gets stuck so I am completely lost…

I do apologize as I am a not as proficient with terms and all don’t know the technicalities as well but would appreciate any input!

Thanks!

Hi @sdyang3140, sorry for the delay here. We’re working through our backlog. We checked the batch you shared: it was cancelled on June 14, with none of the 500 requests completed. If newer batches are still getting stuck, send us a recent batch ID so we can check that one too.
