Gpt-4.1-mini fine-tuning jobs stuck in queued ~24h, never reaching running (June 12, 2026)

Since June 10 I’ve had fine-tuning jobs on gpt-4.1-mini-2025-04-14 sit in queued for ~19–24h and never transition to running — no training, no trained_tokens, estimated_finish stays null.

Timeline (UTC):

  • Job A — submitted Jun 10 ~18:48, sat queued ~19h with no progress, cancelled.
  • Job B (resubmit) — submitted Jun 11 13:41, still queued ~24h as of writing.

For both: files validated successfully within seconds (Files validated, moving job to queued state), no error, and it’s the only fine-tune job in the org. Cancelling + resubmitting did not help (re-enters the same queue).

This is the base model that, per other forum threads, usually starts almost immediately — so ~24h queued seems abnormal. Is there a current capacity issue or incident affecting gpt-4.1-mini fine-tuning? Is there anything actionable on my side, or is this purely queue/capacity?

Happy to share the ftjob-… IDs and org ID with staff via DM.
