Batch api stuck on `Validating` status?

no…
It still remains occurring irregularly.

March 6th, 2025 - I am experiencing this bug today as well. 10 batch jobs, all stuck in validating for 4+ hours. Cancelling looks to be stuck as well. Restarted job that kicks off batch and 4 went right through, 6 got stuck in validating again.

Likewise, this issue seems to have reappeared at roughly Thu, 06 Mar 2025 12:12:41 GMT (1741263161 in epoch time).

same here, stuck in validating for long with o3-mini batch request, canceled and retried for times and not working…

I encountered the same issue today, with all of my batch jobs failing to process. Is this problem limited to specific models? If anyone has any tips or insights to make a batch go through, they would be greatly appreciated.

I have opened a thread with support and will update here as soon as I have more information from them.

I restarted my job a third time and 0/10 have moved beyond the validation phase, so something is definitely up. My jobs are on gpt-4o

There was an internal issue causing batches to not get validated for a while. We have fixed it and you should see your batches pass the validation phase very soon. Apologies for the trouble!

Thanks! Just came here to comment that it looks fixed for me too.
