There are many reasons that this error can occur, which explains why you will see many different reports.
The most common cause is a configuration error (e.g. forgetting that you defined an OPENAI_BASE_URL env variable). The second most common cause is a network connectivity issue due to a VPN, proxy, etc.
If you see this again, please use the
/feedbackslash command to upload your logs and session details, then post the thread ID here. I see that you've posted a thread ID above, but that thread ID is not in our database, so you either didn't use the/feedbackcommand or didn't successfully complete the upload. That could also be indicative of a network connectivity issue.I'm going to close because there's not enough information here to investigate further.
