Hi , We are experimenting with Azure OpenAI services. It seems around half of the time, it will return 500 internal server error with gpt-35-turbo. Is this a known issue and something wrong with the Azure OpenAI services?

Retry the request: If you encounter a 500 Internal Server error, you can try retrying the request after a short period of time. Transient errors can occur, and retrying may result in a successful response.
Check service status: Visit the Azure status page (status.azure.com) to check if there are any ongoing issues or service disruptions with Azure OpenAI services. Look for any reported incidents or updates related to the service you're using.
Review error details: When you receive a 500 Internal Server error, check if the error response provides any additional details or error codes. This information can help in troubleshooting and understanding the specific issue.
- Monitor error frequency: Keep track of how frequently you're encountering the 500 Internal Server errors. If the errors persist and occur consistently, it's recommended to report the issue to the Azure support team. They can investigate the problem and provide further assistance.

Could you please share the region you were using? Have you checked for the service health in the Azure portal or found any logs related to this?

2023-06-06T23:22:32.7733333+00:00 Hi @VasaviLankipalle-MSFT , sure, I am using East US region. Yes, I see many "Health event" Activated -> In Progress -> Resolved logs in the activity log, almost once every hour. And when I look at the details, it shows here in the properties. Is there something wrong with the Server?
"properties": { "title": "Unknown", "details": "Unknown", "currentHealthStatus": "Unavailable", "previousHealthStatus": "Degraded", "type": "Downtime", "cause": "Unknown" }, -

6/2/2023 23:14:42" in the health history. It is saying already mitigated, but we are still seeing this Intermittent 500 Internal server error today. -

2023-06-15T20:36:27.7566667+00:00 Hi @VasaviLankipalle-MSFT , the OpenAI service starts to return other errors frequently since last couple of days, "deployment not found", "timeout" etc. It seems very unstable, which hurts our user experience. I don't think it's a production ready service for us now, so we canceled and disabled the Azure OpenAI service for our product. If in the future, the team fix these issues and make the service stable, I could give another try.
