How to prove it during checking
Read-only check. Detection data burns after 5 minutes.
- Run read-only identity first: confirm whether the key really belongs to OpenAI, not just a compatible protocol.
- Then list models or run a lightweight probe: check whether models like GPT-3.5 Turbo · GPT-3.5 Turbo (older v0613) · GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k are visible and return stable evidence.
- Finally record 408/504, error body, latency, egress IP, and reproducibility to separate balance, permission, route, or upstream issues.
Next action
timeout should not only show failed. The console should return the next move: refill balance, change Base URL, switch model, add permission, change egress IP, hold listing, or monitor.
