Is OpenAI Sabotaging Power Users? Continuous 'caas.internal.errors.ClientError' on ChatGPT Python Sandbox

Hi everyone,

I am encountering a persistent and blocking error while using ChatGPT's advanced environments (Code Interpreter / Advanced Data Analysis). The execution fails systematically on Python tools.

Technical Details & Error Logs

  • Primary Tool Affected: python.exec
  • Exact Error Exception: <class 'caas.internal.errors.ClientError'>
  • Secondary Tool Affected: python_user_visible.exec (Attempted as a fallback)
  • Secondary Error Exception: <class 'caas.internal.errors.ClientError'>

Context & Personal Assessment

This issue strictly triggers during complex, advanced data processing and workflows. Given how specific this caas.internal.errors.ClientError is, it strongly feels like an intentional restriction or soft-blocking mechanism implemented by OpenAI.

It appears OpenAI might be throttling, censoring, or actively sabotaging power users who push the models to their limits with heavy workloads, disguised under internal client errors.

CALLING ALL POWER USERS

If you are running advanced workloads, complex scripts, or heavy data analysis pipelines and have suddenly been hit with this exact 'caas' sandbox error, please share your experience below.

Let's gather data:

  1. Did this error appear out of nowhere after high compute usage?
  2. Has anyone found a way to bypass this intentional bottleneck, or is this a definitive account-level restriction disguised as a bug?

Thanks for your insights and solidarity.
