string_length_exceeded_error
Invalid message content: string too long. Expected a string with maximum length 1048576, but received a longer string. Reduce the string length to comply with the limit.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error you are encountering, specifically the "Invalid 'messages.content.text': string too long" with a 400 status code, is due to the following reason:
The OpenAI API has a limit on the length of the string that can be passed in the
messages.content.text
field. The maximum allowed length is 1048576 characters, but your request contains a string that exceeds this limit, with a length of 3235717 characters. This violation of the API's string length constraint results in the "Bad Request" error (status code 400).
Solution
To fix the "Invalid 'messages.content.text': string too long" error, you need to ensure that the string length does not exceed the maximum allowed limit. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:
Trim or truncate the text: Reduce the length of the string to be within the 1048576 character limit.
Split the text: Break down the long text into multiple messages, each adhering to the character limit.
Use a summarization approach: If the entire text is not necessary, consider summarizing the content to fit within the allowed length.
Optimize the request: Review and optimize the request to minimize the amount of text being sent in a single call.
By implementing these strategies, you can ensure your requests comply with the OpenAI API's string length constraints.
