Excessive Timeout Errors with OpenAI O1 API (US East 2 Region)

Performance for o1 in the US East 2 region seems to have severely degraded over the last couple of weeks.

We've been seeing sigificantly more timeout errors, so have temporarily resorted back to OpenAI's own API.

The errors specifically look like this:

openai.APITimeoutError: Request timed out.

A similar issue was recently filed for the Sweden region - let me know if any extra info would be helpful in resolving this.
