Background responses failing during polling phase consistently

500 The server had an error processing your request. Sorry about that! You can retry your request, or contact us through our help center at help.openai.com if you keep seeing this error. (Please include the request ID req_17624a5eb2becc232e808b6ef68f08b1 in your email.)

After 5-6 minutes of successful polling, i consistently run into this issue here. Currently handicapping my ability to use the responses api.

Basically using gpt-5 with code interpreter to do some OCR stuff.

Not sure what to do here. Any help would be great.

I should note that these responses cause issues when trying to be viewed in the logs as well. I get a 500 on the api platform when clicking on the “log” to view the response attempt

Should also mention that the status stays queued, and then fails. Never even begins processing.

Which then results to this

Update: Retried request and no longer getting stuck in queued status and am able to retrieve background responses. (didn’t change anything) Will update if any further 500’s start popping up.

Also should note, the api platform UI, now lets me see the logs (10 minutes ago it wouldn’t even load the list of logs) seemingly all of my prior requests have been completed.

We’re back to getting 500’s

Server is getting the same response for reference
