I literally just came to HN to ask if I was alone with the acurséd "API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"…"}" greeting me and telling me to get back to using my brain!

8.30am on the US west coast

Yep, daily haha. Well at least this time they aren't just silently reducing thinking on the server side, which ended up making a mess in my codebase when they did that last time. I'd rather a 500 than a silent rug-pull.
