context_length_error
The request exceeds the model's maximum context length. Please reduce the length of the messages or completion.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 status error in the Azure OpenAI API, specifically the message indicating that the model's maximum context length has been exceeded, is caused by the following reasons:
Context Length Exceedance
The total number of tokens in your request (including both the messages and the completion) exceeds the maximum context length allowed by the model. In your case, the model's limit is 16385 tokens, but your request contains 16921 tokens (15897 in the messages and 1024 in the completion).
This error occurs because the API cannot process requests that surpass the defined token limits for the specific model being used.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error due to exceeding the maximum context length in the Azure OpenAI API, you need to reduce the total number of tokens in your request. Here are the steps to achieve this:
Reduce the length of the messages: Trim down the context or messages you are passing to fit within the allowed token limit.
Reduce the completion tokens: Lower the
max_tokens
ormax_completion_tokens
parameter to a value that keeps the total tokens under the model's limit.Break the request into smaller chunks: If necessary, split your request into multiple smaller requests to stay within the token limits.
Optimize your prompt: Consider moving some context to a less token-intensive part of the API, such as using the "system prompt" or "instructions" if available.
By adjusting these parameters, you can ensure your requests comply with the model's token limits and avoid the 400 error.
