2026/8/24 21:55 (UTC+8) · Model Status · OpenAI ⚠️ gpt-image-2-vip has been unstable since 20:30 (UTC+8) tonight due to upstream rate limiting gpt-image-2-vip has been a popular choice because size is honoured precisely and it can render at 2K and 4K. Since 20:30 (UTC+8) tonight, abuse controls and rate limiting on the upstream provider side have tightened noticeably, and the model is seeing higher failure rates and longer latency. It is still fluctuating. Status of the image endpoints in this series (pick whichever fits your case):
  • gpt-image-2-vip: unstable, affected by upstream rate limiting
  • Official-relay gpt-image-2: running normally, billed by usage; 4K and quality=high carry a higher per-image cost
When using the official-relay gpt-image-2, pass quality explicitly (for example medium). If you omit it, the default is auto — a dynamic tier where the model picks the quality level itself, so latency and cost drift between runs of the same prompt and your spend becomes hard to predict. The four official values are low / medium / high / auto; see gpt-image-2 overview for the parameter reference and per-tier pricing. We are in touch with the upstream provider and monitoring continuously, and will update here as soon as service recovers.
