TROUBLESHOOTING

Start with the response.

Resolve authentication, credit, context, unsupported-feature, concurrency, and availability errors for the AblitAI text API.

Read the body and status together

OpenAI-compatible routes use a structured error object for request validation. For example, a tool-bearing request on this deployment is rejected before inference:

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Tool calling is disabled for this deployment",
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

Some account, payment, and infrastructure errors use a detail field instead. Client wrappers can shorten or replace server messages; retain the HTTP status and a non-sensitive description of the failure, never the key or prompt.

Status	Meaning and next step
400	Invalid request or unsupported capability. Remove tools, images, audio, or thinking fields. Reduce context when the message names the token envelope.
401	Missing or invalid API key. Check the current shell environment and Bearer authentication. An account number is not a key.
402	Insufficient available credits. Check balance, active reservations, and requested maximum output.
413	Request body is too large. Reduce the payload; this does not mean media inputs are supported.
429	Rate or concurrency limit. Respect Retry-After when supplied; allow active requests to finish.
503	Service or operation is unavailable. Check status and retry later with a bounded policy.

Check the URL and model

OpenAI SDK base_url / baseURL is https://api.ablitai.com/v1. The model ID is qwen3.8-27b-abliterated. Do not append a second /v1 or use the website domain as the API endpoint. The quickstart provides working request shapes.

Budget the full context

The 131,072-token total includes input, message/template overhead, and generated output. Input already occupying more of the context reduces the possible output. Shorten history and lower max_tokens. A base-model card's larger context does not change this deployment.

Tools and coding harnesses

API tools are on. Setting a custom provider URL does not create a production support commitment. Codex and OpenCode remain reference-only; Claude Code is unofficial and default startup can still exceed practical budgets before reaching the API. See the pinned support matrix.

Interrupted streaming

Keep reading until the terminal SSE event and final usage when supplied. If the network stops first, do not infer a zero charge. A started response without trustworthy final usage may settle up to its reservation; read token accounting before retrying.

Lost key or empty balance

Import an existing key from your private backup. An account ID cannot recover the key, prove ownership, or recover credits. A new no-email account starts without a paid balance. See account access and your account.

For an unavailable service, use live checks. The support page states whether a verified contact channel exists.
