Hi there!
The error itself is not very informative in this case - it could be a number of reasons.
Judging by activity logs, you had some back and forth prior to receiving error?
If that's the case, the most probable reasons are network issues or the unavailability of the open AI servers themself (they usually respond with corresponding message [see #2241], but I wouldn't be surprised if they go down from time to time under the load).
Taking into account that there is also existing issue starting with exact same error (#2937) I would suggest to close the issue as duplicate.
PS never mind the tumbs down emoji - it's just the measure maintainers suggested to sort the issues.
