ChatGPT models request failed (HTTP {status}): {body}

Error message

ChatGPT models request failed (HTTP {status}): {body}

What it means

The ChatGPT models endpoint returned a non-2xx HTTP status, so list_models refuses to parse the body. The status code and response body are included in the error; common causes are an expired or invalid access token (401), rate limiting (429), or server-side errors (5xx).

Solutions

1. Inspect the HTTP status: 401/403 means the access token is stale or revoked — sign out and re-authenticate
2. For 429 rate limits, wait before the next automatic catalog refresh
3. For 5xx errors, retry later or check the OpenAI status page
4. For 404, verify the models endpoint URL has not changed
