Proposed fix: [OpenAI SDK parse()] LengthFinishReasonError 'Could not parse response content as the length limit was reached' / ContentFilterFinishReasonError — structured output truncated by max_toke
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Catch LengthFinishReasonError, inspect err.completion.usage, and retry with a larger token budget (account for reasoning tokens) or smaller output; handle content filter separately.
Option: Retry with a larger budget [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See trigger
Steps:
1. except openai.LengthFinishReasonError as e: log e.completion.usage; retry with higher max_completion_tokens.
Expected: Error no longer occurs
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
