Connection to api.openai.com timed out

If you're encountering a "Connection to api.openai.com timed out" error, it means that your request to the OpenAI API has failed due to a timeout. There are a few reasons why this might be happening:

  • You haven't set up billing or don't have enough credit in your account to make API requests
  • You are located in China, where OpenAI is currently not supported
  • There is an issue with your API key or you have typos in your API key

If you believe that you have set up billing and have enough credit in your account, you can try pinging the API to see if you're able to connect. If you're still encountering a timeout error, you can try retrying the API request, but keep in mind that you may need to outline your goals for the AI again if your request continues to fail.
