I have the same problem

[KlotzJesse]

same

[aro-ssystems]

Getting same errors today consistently on v1.0.7
Also getting same errors in vscode

seems to be general issue, see current comments on https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/180092

[GitMonsters]

getting same error

[danparisi]

Same for me and it slows down a lot the agent work

[rs38]

had this error once and in VScode it said sth like rate limitation ongoing. I think it was after the model was looping somehow. after a few hours it was gone.

It happens in v1.0.11 too, gpt-5-mini seems to work, but still slow. It'll probably take a while until infra catches up with demand.

Happening now to me

It's happening to me too AND it consumes requests, that's kinda bad.
