Spent 30 minutes debugging an API call today, turns out it never successfully posted. There was no HTTP request response entry (snippet below) after this API call, without any error messages or anything else. Just a silent failure. There’s no entry in my OpenAI logs for this one call. To be fair, this has never happened to me with thousands of successful API calls, but I find it strange that this can occur without any reason. According to the status page, they’re at “100%.” I don’t know if they round 99.99% to 100% or what. Anyone experienced this before?
”HTTP request response
{“
I don’t think an empty response counts as a negative answer (401, 404…). I think the reason is why you don’t see it published on the status page. As for rounding no, they also publish decimals.

I had a similar issue with OpenAI’s api a while ago, does that look like a bubble failure to you? I’m genuinely intrigued.
My instinct is to blame Bubble first because that’s usually a very good heuristic. It could be that OpenAI just didn’t send a response back and the problem is OpenAI’s end, but I’m not sure how to distinguish between these two possibilities. There was no return entry under the advanced logs (with HTTP request checked, etc.). Did it just disappear?
Maybe OpenAI is lying?
OpenAI is definetly hiding something from us…
