When Go services call the OpenAI Responses API in production, the real failures are rarely about model quality. Most incidents come from transport instability: weak connection pooling, conflicting timeout layers, and retry storms. This guide gives you a practical baseline: HTTP/2 reuse, layered timeout budgets, bounded retries, and error-budget driven operations. ...

When OpenAI API calls start timing out in production, the real problem is usually not “OpenAI is down.” The real problem is you don’t know which hop is failing: DNS, TLS handshake, proxy path, or your own connection pool. ...
