Troubleshooting
Double-check that you’ve copied the correct API key and that it hasn’t expired or been revoked so that you don't get authentication errors
Ensure you’ve copied the base deployment URL only, without tokens or extra query parameters.
Use the “View Code” option in the Azure OpenAI Studio’s Chat playground to generate the correct deployment URL.
