Open AI realtime WS connections are cut off continuously

May 20, 2026
Now all of a sudden without any code changes all of our connections are cut off with the following error
OpenAI`` ``WS`` ``closed:`` ``code=4000`` reason=invalid_request_error.beta_api_shape_disabled
Not sure what is going on. Anyone else experiencing this right now.
We are trying to connect to this url :
