Missing or invalid bearer token

object
Correlation ID for this request, matching the X-Request-ID response header — a 32-character trace ID behind the load balancer, otherwise a UUID. Quote it in support reports.
Example
{ "error": { "type": "invalid_request_error", "request_id": "80f1e2c3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3e4f5" }}Headers
Section titled “Headers”Example
Bearer realm="ai-services"The token is valid, but the caller is not permitted to perform this action — either its scope/permission is insufficient or the authenticated user is not authorized for the target account (error type “permission_error”). On /v1/chat/completions specifically, a 403 with error type “content_policy_violation” instead means the request content was blocked by content moderation policy; that response never identifies which filter or category matched.

Example
{ "error": { "type": "invalid_request_error", "request_id": "80f1e2c3a4b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3e4f5" }}Rate limit exceeded. The request was throttled at the edge; wait and retry later. The response body is a short HTML page generated by the load balancer, not a structured JSON error — clients should rely on the 429 status code rather than parsing the body.
The knowledge base is not currently available. Retry after a short delay.
