OpenAI errors
Every OpenAI error we see across thousands of AI agents routing through the gateway. 3 common errors, 157 affected teams in the last 30 days. Each one with what it means, how to fix it, and how the gateway routes around it.
OpenAI failures cluster around invalid or misscoped API keys, per-model rate limits, and context overflows on long tool loops. Keys and quotas are scoped to organizations and projects, so a request can fail with a perfectly valid key that belongs to the wrong project.
