When it happens

For zero-retention organizations: the model’s retention could not be confirmed, so the request was not sent.

Example

{
  "error": {
    "type": "service_unavailable_error",
    "code": "model_retention_unverifiable",
    "message": "Model retention could not be confirmed. Nothing was charged.",
    "param": null,
    "request_id": "req_6f1c2a9e0b7d4c3a8e5f1b2d",
    "retry_after": 5
  }
}

How to fix it

  • Retry after 5 seconds.

Detect it in code

err = resp.json().get("error", {})
if resp.status_code == 503 and err.get("code") == "model_retention_unverifiable":
    delay = err.get("retry_after") or 2
    time.sleep(delay)  # then retry
