Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - OpenAIClientOptions inherits NetworkTimeout from ClientPipelineOptions per the System.ClientModel design; the OpenAI .NET package itself was not downloaded here. Other error fragments: - The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of {0} seconds elapsing.
