I am creating an app using the batch API, but irrespective of the number of tokens, I get the token_limit_exceeded error, with a message Enqueued token limit reached for gpt-4o in organization org-IlvxxTdYJquYkdT6ofcrGQuW. Limit: 1,350,000 enqueued tokens. Please try again once some in_progress bat…

One possible solution: set the max_completion_tokens to as small as possible. After setting it to 128, although I still encounter the same error, I don’t need to wait for a whole day for it. Just an hour later I can submit another batch to run. Let’s hope it will be entirely solved when I am in Ti…

[image] jaime.valenzuelasoto: The first and the third one get status failed immediately and only the second started. Why? Are you sure that it is the batch rate limit error being produced in all cases? There can be oddities about data in requests that you’d be able to submit as JSON to the …

Hi, has anyone been able to find a solution to this "Enqueued token limit reached for gpt-4o-mini … " error? I have been using this batch API for the past few weeks with no issues - however 2 days ago I started getting these errors and now I cant process a single request. My best guess is somehow i…

[image] rjjj: now I cant process a single request. Ensure you have enough account balance to cover the entire (maximum possible) cost of your batch job. What has been reported is people’s overlooking their current credit balance, or recharge not being triggered to cover for such a case (or no…

I would try to look for anything that could be causing errors because now I have no running jobs and uploaded one of my jsonl files manually, tried to create a batch job via the Dashboard UI, and I only see it going from “validating” to “failed” with the enqueued tokens limit error. I have checked …

I have been testing but it is really confusing. I will give some examples. For reference, I am calculating my tokens like this. This is coming directly from OpenAI’s Cookbook. def num_tokens_from_messages(messages, model="gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18"): """Return the number of tokens used by a list…

Thanks for the tips. I have plenty credit on my account to cover the max possible batch so that’s not the issue. I tried processing a single batch with a single ‘job’ ~ 5000 token size and it still failed. Will reach out to customer support and circle back here if I can a solution

[image] rjjj: Will reach out to customer support OpenAI has also been pinged to see if this is a larger issue.

[image] rjjj: s fo Thanks @_j : I tried getting help through the suggested ‘Help’ system but it did not result in any additional helpful information. As a test, I made sure to loop through all my batch ids and ensure they were cancelled. Then tried uploading a valid file from storage (that …

[image] rjjj: tried getting help through the suggested ‘Help’ system but it did not result in any additional helpful information Rather, you would select “messages” in the pop-up help widget, click through the choices and avoid its suggestions that you read more, until you can report an API p…

Hi all! Just reporting back. I couldn’t report a bug or else regarding the API but since yesterday I have been able to submit plenty of batch jobs that are being processed correctly without getting some of them marked as “Failed” due to limit of enqueued tokens. So the calculation of the tokens we…
