Timeout Issues

If you’re constantly encountering a timeout error, try the following solutions:

Check OpenAI’s availability Visit the OpenAI Playground and try submitting a prompt. If that also times out or fails, the issue is likely with OpenAI's servers or your network connection.

Adjust the timeout setting AI Dev Kit includes a configurable timeout option to prevent requests from hanging indefinitely. You can increase this limit under: Edit ▶ Preferences ▶ AI Dev Kit ▶ Timeout (seconds) A longer timeout may allow slower responses to complete successfully.

Retry after a short delay Sometimes, temporary server-side outages can cause requests to fail. If everything else looks fine, try again in a few minutes.

If you're in China OpenAI’s services may be restricted in your region. As reported by Yahoo! Finance, some apps and platforms have been ordered to block ChatGPT access. If you're in mainland China, this could be the root cause.
