TL;DR

Reduce the prompt length to below 200,000 tokens to resolve the "prompt is too long" error.

Guidance

• Identify the source of the long prompt and shorten it to comply with the 200,000 token limit.
• Verify the prompt length before sending the request to avoid "prompt is too long" errors.
• Consider implementing a prompt length check in your code to handle such errors programmatically.
• Review the API documentation for any specific guidelines on prompt length limits and handling.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the exact implementation details, but a general approach would involve checking the length of the prompt before making the request:

if (prompt.length > 200000) {
  // Handle the error, potentially by shortening the prompt or displaying an error message
} else {
  // Proceed with the request
}

Notes

The provided error messages indicate that the prompt exceeds the maximum allowed length of 200,000 tokens, leading to "prompt is too long" errors. Reducing the prompt length should resolve these errors. However, without more context about the application or the specific requirements of the prompt, it's challenging to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by shortening the prompt to comply with the 200,000 token limit, as this directly addresses the error messages provided.
