Hi @dyzmas2021,

you can check if there are outages OpenAI Status here.

But you are not the only one with this issue ( Variable Response Times on API gpt-3.5-turbo - General API discussion - OpenAI API Community Forum) :slight_smile:

I’m going to start monitoring the 3.5 Turbo response times across the server and when there are too many “curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);” timeouts, I’ll revert to Davinci 003. or GPT4. It will be interesting to see how I can switch/convert the Turbo chat style resprequests into the completion style.

I am having random timeouts on 3.5 (tolerance is 20 sec).

On 4 sometimes it even takes a minute to respond. Same prompt in 3.5 takes seconds.
