Repeated Server Errors for Responses API

OpenAI Developer Community May 7, 2026
Source

Welcome to the forum!

My advice from seeing this would be to do exactly what the error message suggests: contact OpenAI Support and include the request ID.

OpenAI Support may also respond here if they see the thread, but I think opening a support ticket would still be useful, since this involves Responses API + webhooks, repeated server errors, slow response times and many request IDs. Forum users can suggest general checks, but they cannot inspect the internal request traces.

Webhook docs, in case useful:

developers.openai.com

Webhooks | OpenAI API

When and if contacting Support, I’d include the request IDs, timestamps, model used, whether this only happens with webhook/background Responses, approximate failure rate and any relevant webhook logs/status codes from your side.

I also checked OpenAI’s status page and currently I only see an incident listed for ChatGPT and Codex, not APIs:

OpenAI Status

OpenAI Status

Latest service status for OpenAI

So if this is happening repeatedly with Responses API + webhooks, I’d still recommend opening a support ticket with the request IDs so Support can trace the requests internally.
