Hello DigitalOcean Community,
I’m encountering a CRITICAL WORKER TIMEOUT error while running a Flask app connected to OpenAI. The app functions correctly with short prompts, but I receive the timeout error when sending longer prompts. Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jukka Sun, Maybe your application makes several calls to openai API (maybe your service is hitting a worker timeout)
Can you tell me more about your environment and explain your workflow?
Right Now I am unable to answer the exact reason. What I can say is that maybe it’s because of the default timeout, your worker has been silent for 30s
I recommend reading the respective official’s documentation
