vector_stores.list() returns empty list even if vector stores exist

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• [x] This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

ls = client.vector_stores.list() print(ls)

gives

SyncCursorPage[VectorStore](data=[], has_more=False, object='list', first_id=None, last_id=None)

but querying by ID gives results back.

vs = client.vector_stores.retrieve( vector_store_id="vs_123" ) print(vs)

To Reproduce

ls = client.vector_stores.list() print(ls)

Update: it works now, but after few hours, so there is a significant delay in List action on vector store API, which makes it a bit confusing if you create a new vector store and query the list after that.

[debarghyaRONIN]

a "fetch when needed" type of retrieval logic might help so that it doesn't cause delays while running.

Thanks for reporting!

This sounds like an issue with the underlying OpenAI API and not the SDK, so I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.
