Too many tokens: the total number of tokens in the prompt exceeds the limit of 4081. Try using a shorter prompt or enable prompt truncating. See https://docs.cohere.com/reference/generate for more details.

This error has been identified and solved.

Reason

The 400 status error you are seeing in the Cohere API is due to the total number of tokens in the prompt exceeding the maximum allowed limit. Specifically, the error indicates that the prompt has 4588 tokens, which is above the maximum limit of 4081 tokens that the API can handle for the given model. This violation of the token limit is the reason for the "too many tokens" error.

Solution

To resolve the "too many tokens" error in the Cohere API, you need to ensure that the total number of tokens in the prompt does not exceed the maximum limit of 4081 tokens. Here are some concise solutions:

Shorten the prompt: Reduce the length of your prompt to stay within the token limit.
Enable prompt truncation: Use the prompt_truncation parameter, setting it to AUTO or specifying a truncation method like START or END to handle longer inputs.
Adjust the max_tokens parameter: If necessary, adjust the max_tokens parameter to a lower value that, when combined with your prompt size, does not exceed the model's limit.

By implementing these changes, you can avoid exceeding the token limit and successfully make API requests.
