TL;DR

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

Guidance

• The errors indicate that the prompt length exceeds the maximum allowed limit of 200,000 tokens, causing "invalid_request_error" and "Conversation too long" errors.
• To mitigate this, shorten the input prompt to ensure it is within the allowed token limit.
• If the issue persists, consider splitting the prompt into smaller, manageable parts to process sequentially.
• Review the provided error messages for specific token counts to guide the prompt length reduction.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is related to input length rather than code syntax.

Notes

The solution assumes that the error is solely due to the prompt length. Other factors might contribute to the issue, but based on the provided information, reducing the prompt length is the most direct approach to resolve the "prompt is too long" errors.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Shorten the prompt length to below 200,000 tokens. This directly addresses the "prompt is too long" error messages provided in the issue description.
