Hey, I checked the Request ID. The generic Provider Error in your case is misleading, the real reason is different. Your chat history includes image data, and the request went to the fast Composer 2 variant, which isn’t multimodal, so the provider returns 400. Also, your account was cached as over the usage limit, and that triggered the fast path.

Workaround: start a new chat without any attached images, it should work there. If you need images, explicitly pick a multimodal model in the selector instead of Auto.

The misleading error message and routing multimodal context to a non multimodal variant is a known issue and is being tracked. Let me know if a new chat doesn’t help.
