Vector Store Retrieval errors in API and Web Interface

When using the retrieval API for polling Vector store status after creating a vector store, the following error appears frequently from the API as well as when browsing and selecting vector stores from the OpenAI management web portal.

An unexpected error occurred: Failed to retrieve vector store.

I currently workaround this in the API by catching the error and retrying/polling after a certain interval.

I’m also experiencing this - it’s extremely disruptive. I would say > 50% of calls are 500s.
