2026/8/13 09:59 (UTC+8) · Model Status · OpenAI ✅ gpt-image-2-vip is back to normal, currently around 90s per image Tightened upstream risk controls left the account pool short of capacity overnight, producing two windows of disruption (all times UTC+8): between 02:19 and 03:31 the API timed out on some tasks, leaving requests hanging for a long time; between 03:55:38 and 04:16:32 the model returned Upstream resources are temporarily busy. Please try again later. (HTTP 429, type rate_limit_error), so it was fully unavailable for those 20 minutes — though as an immediate error rather than a stalled connection, callers could detect it at once and route to another model. Capacity has since recovered. Two integration suggestions:
  • Timeouts: set the request timeout for gpt-image-2-vip straight to the maximum of 360 seconds, so the first failure mode above cannot tie up your caller for long.
  • Dual-channel fallback: wire up the official-relay gpt-image-2 alongside the reverse-proxy gpt-image-2-vip so each backs the other. The official relay is the reliability anchor; the reverse-proxy route is stable most of the time but cannot be perfect, and running both in parallel materially reduces the impact of a single-point wobble.
Apologies for the disruption — we are keeping a close watch on upstream capacity.
