GPTs/Assistants timing out/failing to respond with complete output

It seems like no matter what I ask, most of the time my GPT’s and Assistants time out or have an error before responding. Nearly all of my threads are 1-2 messages in length because it will stop working after (maybe) 1 response.

Is there an issue with the amount of documentation I am providing that is limiting the length of response it can provide after analyzing the files? Or is this all a product of the high demand on OpenAI’s systems the last few days?

Please help me troubleshoot…
