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 4970 items.
, is occurring because the request exceeds the maximum allowed context length.
Here are the key reasons for this error:
Context Length Exceeded: The total length of the messages (including the conversation context and the new prompt) exceeds the maximum allowed tokens. For many OpenAI models, there is a limit on the total context length, typically measured in tokens rather than characters.
Token Limits: The API has specific token limits for the context, and your request is surpassing these limits. For example, GPT-4 has a maximum context length of 128k tokens, but your request is exceeding this limit.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error due to the context length exceeding the maximum allowed, you need to adjust the length of your request. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:
Reduce the length of the messages: Trim down the conversation context or the new prompt to fit within the allowed token limit.
Break the context into smaller chunks: If the context is too long, consider breaking it into multiple requests, each within the allowed token limit.
Optimize the prompt: Remove any unnecessary parts of the prompt or context to minimize the token count.
Use a different model: If possible, switch to a model with a higher context length limit, though this may not always be feasible depending on your requirements.
By implementing these adjustments, you can ensure your requests comply with the API's token limits.
