Hi everone! I’m new here and this is my first post and first app and my first experience with No-Code.
The Problem
I use the OpenAI API to generate detailed educational documents through a Custom Action in Adalo. Everything worked perfectly with GPT-4o-2024-11-20 until January 30, 2025.
Since then, my requests have latency issues, exceeding the 25-second limit in Adalo, causing them to fail.
What I Have Tried
- Checked the OpenAI API:
-The API URL is correct and works outside of Adalo using Postman, but responses are slower than before.
-The OpenAI status page does not show any recent latency issues. - Tested different OpenAI models:
-GPT-4o-2024-11-20: Worked well before January 30 but is now too slow.
-GPT-4-turbo: Works but is too expensive for me.
-o3-mini: Only works with reasoning_effort = low (using medium or high causes a timeout).
-GPT-4-mini: Works but produces low-quality responses. - Optimized my prompt:
-I shortened and improved my prompt, but the latency issue remains. - Possible Causes:
-Did the launch of o1 and o3-mini affect the latency of other models?
-Could OpenAI’s new European servers impact response times in West Africa?
My Questions - Has anyone else experienced this issue with OpenAI on Adalo since January 30?
- Is there a way to avoid the 25-second timeout in Adalo without extra costs?
- What solutions do you recommend to fix this issue without additional expenses?
Note to consider: I have a limited budget, so Zapier, Make, or any paid solution is not an option.
I need to solve this problem before launching my app in a few weeks.
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
