The total number of tokens exceeds the model"s maximum context length. Please reduce the length of your messages or functions.

This model"s maximum context length is 128000 tokens. However, your messages resulted in 411525 tokens (411032 in the messages, 493 in the functions). Please reduce the length of the messages or functions.

The 400 status error you are encountering with the OpenAI API is due to exceeding the maximum allowed context length for the model you are using. Here are the key points:

  • The error message indicates that the model's maximum context length is 128,000 tokens, but your request resulted in 411,525 tokens (411,032 in the messages and 493 in the functions).

  • This exceeds the allowable limit, causing the server to reject the request with a "Bad Request" (status code 400) response.

  • The issue is specifically related to the total token count in your messages and functions, which together surpass the model's context length limit.

To fix the 400 status error due to exceeding the model's maximum context length, you need to reduce the length of your messages or functions. Here are some steps to achieve this:

  • Segment the input: Break down the input into smaller chunks that fit within the model's token limit.

  • Truncate data: Reduce the length of the messages or functions to ensure they do not exceed the maximum context length.

  • Optimize prompts: Streamline your prompts and context to use fewer tokens.

  • Use token counting tools: Utilize tools like TikToken to accurately count the tokens in your request and adjust accordingly.

  • Implement rate limiting: Ensure you are not overwhelming the API with too many requests at once, which can also help in managing token limits.

By taking these steps, you can ensure your API requests comply with the model's context length limitations.
