The performance has been significantly slower since yesterday, and it appears that OpenAI may not be aware of the issue yet. Completing a request is currently taking around 5 minutes.

Same here. Really annoying. Does anybody know a workaround or faster / working model?

Same issue. Calls to API that took a few seconds three days ago now taking 5 minutes or more

I noticed some issues with the chat API as well. Often times reponse time is decent, but other times it fails on timeout. Horrible for user experience of course

https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions is taking between 2s and a 5-minute timeout

Can confirm this is happening a lot today. Really hard to imagine building a decent UX on top of this.

Obligatory +1. Iāve implemented exponential backoff, but subsequent retries still hang. Often, my entire retry limit is exhausted with no response with the ChatCompletions API with gpt-3.5-turbo.
