OpenAI Assistant Internal Server Error on 22nd January 2025 IST

I didn’t get this one.

BUT, actually (the first time for me here) a lot didn’t work correctly.

  • Custom GPTs I made suddenly didn’t work.
  • Some picture generations didn’t work.
  • The model(s) - especially 4o claimed repeatedly to have accomplished/executed a task and didn’t do anything.
  • Then, several times I got out of the blue (after 3 or 4 messages in a new chat):
    Then I got like written in here (older thread, I guess): You have Sent too many Messages to the Model, Please try again later
  • Plus, it said several times that I’ve shot all my messages when just using a view
  • Picture generation took for ever.

etc.

All at once…

BUT,

this one didn’t show any degradation.

So I got only two conclusions left:

a) either it is because they’re developing something new.
We’ve often seen a kind of degradation and then - woof - something new popped up. For example the tasks or when a model was updated.

b) OR… they have maybe given a lot more power to the 200$ accounts that have all time access…

c) or even… popped up right now spontaneously as well - maybe the’ve changed the model(s) again. And they need to adapt somewhat until they’re running fully again.
It’s almost like booting up a complex system completely.

Any other thoughts?

Those are my best guesses. Anyway.

EDIT: Update, if you have a look on X.com you most likely now why:

Server issues because they try to extend massively, see on X.com for more information: OpenAI on X
