error during embedding, status: {:?}, body: {:?}

Error message

error during embedding, status: {:?}, body: {:?}

What it means

HTTP failure path in the OpenAI embeddings request: the API responded with a non-success status, and the status plus response body are embedded to expose the actual cause (auth failure, quota, bad model name, rate limit, etc.).

Solutions

1. Check the embedded status/body: 401 means bad API key, 429 means rate limit/quota, 404 means unknown embedding model
2. Verify the API key and embedding model name in settings
3. Retry after addressing rate limits or outages
