length_limit_error
"$.messages" exceeds the maximum length of 2048 items. Please reduce the number of items in the messages.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The 400 status error in the Azure OpenAI API, specifically the message ".messages is too long. Maximum length is 2048, but got 4968 items," indicates that the request is exceeding the maximum allowed context length for the model you are using.
Here are the key reasons for this error:
Context Length Limit: OpenAI models have a maximum context length limit, typically measured in tokens. When the combined length of your messages (including any previous conversations or context) exceeds this limit, the API returns a 400 error.
Invalid Request Configuration: The error suggests that the payload you are passing to the API is not compliant with the API's requirements, specifically regarding the length of the messages array.
In essence, the error is triggered because the total tokens in your request (messages and completion) surpass the model's maximum acceptable context length.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error in the Azure OpenAI API due to the $.messages exceeding the maximum length, you need to adjust the length of your request. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:
Reduce the number of items in the messages array: Ensure that the total number of items in the
messagesarray does not exceed 2048.Optimize the context: Trim down the context or previous conversation history to fit within the allowed limits.
Split the request: If necessary, break down the request into multiple smaller requests to stay within the context length limits.
Review model limits: Check the specific limits of the OpenAI model you are using and adjust your request accordingly.
By implementing these adjustments, you can ensure your requests comply with the API's requirements and avoid the 400 error.
