Chat GPT Image Models Down - 401 errors

Getting 401 error using replicate, open-ai api, and developer images playground.

Welcome to the community!

I just got an email about it from OpenAI status page:

Thought I was going crazy

:distorted_face: :distorted_face:

Update: It is now resolved and operational again.

Now getting 401s on gpt-5.5

I just tried gpt-5.5 and couldn’t reproduce the error​:thinking: maybe temporarily glitch?

Narrowed down to 401s with API for document and image analysis - other stuff works ok. Maybe they are in the process of bumping it to 5.6 …

Hey @jeffvpace Just checking in - are you still experiencing issue with 401 errors when using the API?

Thank you. No more 401s. Actually there were two issues: one with the Image API that OAI fixed; and 400s with gpt-5.5 that I fixed in my code.

Sorry for my confusion.
