TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by removing or resizing the large images to be within the 2000-pixel limit for multi-image requests.

Guidance

• The error message indicates that at least one of the image dimensions exceeds the maximum allowed size for multi-image requests, which is 2000 pixels.
• To fix this, the user can try removing some of the screenshots or resizing them to be within the allowed limit.
• The user can also try to send the images one by one to avoid exceeding the size limit.
• It's also worth noting that the error messages include other issues such as file not found and request timeouts, but the primary issue seems to be related to the image size.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to the image size and not a code-specific problem.

Notes

The provided error messages include various issues, but the primary issue seems to be related to the image size. Resolving the image size issue should fix the problem, but the other errors may still need to be addressed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should try removing or resizing the large images to be within the 2000-pixel limit for multi-image requests, as this seems to be the primary cause of the issue.
