OpenAI: Error Handling & Reliability
Test-backedValue ------- ~300ms ~1.2s ~90 tokens/sec 99.5%+ Tier-based GPT-4o: $2.50/$10 per 1M tokens (in/out) --- - Idempotency: Not applicable — each request generates unique output.
Scores 9.3/10 overall. with execution at 9.3 and access readiness at 9.4. Payment: Self-serve API billing. Governance: API key per project, usage limits per key. Web accessibility: Playground/dashboard is functional but secondary to API.
