Solutions

1. Check the API key is valid and has quota
2. Verify provider.model is a model available on the account
3. Confirm provider.baseUrl points to the correct OpenAI-compatible endpoint with /chat/completions path
4. Inspect the response body for the specific error code
5. Retry after a delay if rate-limited (429)

try {
  const text = await callOpenAI(provider, system, user);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.startsWith('openai ')) {
    const status = parseInt(err.message.split(' ')[1], 10);
    if (status === 429) {
      await sleep(backoffMs);
      return callOpenAI(provider, system, user);
    }
    if (status === 401 || status === 403) {
      throw new Error('OpenAI API key is invalid or lacks permission');
    }
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invalid or expired API key (401/403); rate limiting (429); model name not available; quota exceeded; malformed request payload; baseUrl pointing to a wrong endpoint.

Common situations: API key rotated without updating config; wrong baseUrl (e.g. pointing to Azure endpoint without the OpenAI path); model deprecated; hitting rate limits during batch extraction; organization billing issues.
