Troubleshooting

FAQ

• For general FAQ please visit OpenAI's own page: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7039783-chatgpt-api-faq
• How can I clear or re-enter API key: use Genie: Clear API Key command. Click Commands on the home page to see all commands available. You can also click on Change API Key on the home page.
• Editor view uses text-davinci-003: It's by design at the moment since it's the only model that can guarantee a code response and the view doesn't need a conversational context. Please follow this issue for details #24
• Is the ChatGPT API included in the ChatGPT Plus subscription?: No, the ChatGPT API and ChatGPT Plus subscription are billed separately.
• Can I view the API Key after storing it?: VS Code secrets storage won't allow you to read the API Key after storing it. You may clear or reenter another key if you are facing issues.
• Does Genie support proxies: See this issue to enable local proxy: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode/issues/7
• Usage in Remote environments: See this issue about remote/SSH: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode/issues/3
• Unable To Use GPT-4 Models: You need GPT-4 API Access (Different than GPT-4 on ChatGPT Plus subscription) https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode/issues/6
• Azure OpenAI Service: Unsupported data type Error: This means you didn't select the right base model for your Azure OpenAI service. Make sure to select the base GPT model you used to create your Azure OpenAI Service deployment

Common Issues

• It's possible that OpenAI systems may experience issues responding to your queries due to high-traffic from time to time.

• If you get HTTP 429 Too Many Requests, it means that you are either making too many requests OR your account doesn't have enough credit. Your account may also have expired.

  • Please check your plan and billing details
  • If you see insufficient_quota in the error, you could run the following cURL command to check if your account has enough quota. (Make sure to replace $OPENAI_API_KEY with your key that you use in this extension)

    curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
      -d '{
      "model": "text-davinci-003",
      "prompt": "Can I make a request?\n\n",
      "temperature": 0.7,
      "max_tokens": 256,
      "top_p": 1,
      "frequency_penalty": 0,
      "presence_penalty": 0
    }'
  

• If you get HTTP 404 Not Found error, it means one of the parameters you provided is unknown (i.e. genieai.openai.model). Most likely switching to default model in your settings would fix this issue.

• If you get HTTP 400 Bad Request error, it means that your conversation's length is more than GPT/Codex models can handle. Or you supplied an invalid argument via customized settings.

• If you encounter persistent issues with your queries

  • Try Genie: Reset session to clear your session/conversation or Genie: Clear API Key to clear your API Key and re-enter
  • As a last resort try restarting your VS-Code and retry logging in.

• If you are using Remote Development and cannot use ChatGPT

  • In settings.json add "remote.extensionKind": {"genieai.chatgpt-vscode": ["ui"]}
