bug: Issue: OpenAI API Errors – Rate Limit Exceeded & Invalid JSON Schema
Summary:
Encountering two primary issues when utilizing the task-master CLI tool with OpenAI's API:
###Rate Limit Exceeded Error:
#Error Message:
Request too large for gpt-4o-search-preview in organization org- ... on tokens per min (TPM): Limit 6000, Requested 6699. The input or output tokens must be reduced in order to run successfully.
Context: This error arises during the processing of .taskmaster/docs/prd.txt when the tool attempts to generate structured data from the PRD file.
###Invalid JSON Schema Error:
###Error Message: Invalid schema for function 'json': In context=('properties', 'tasks', 'items'), 'required' is required to be supplied and to be an array including every key in properties. Missing 'details'.
Context: This occurs when the tool tries to parse the PRD into a structured JSON format, indicating a mismatch between the expected schema and the provided data.

This should be fixed -- can you take a look as of 0.16.2?
The issue still occur to me.

Thanks for flagging, will definitely be worked on in 0.17.0, can you tell me what model you're using so that I can make sure I use the same model ? @rlaxodbs0
Experiencing this too:
