If an user post on topic where last writer is another user then comes error 500. But that comment is published anyway.

But if an user writes a post and same user was last writer on that topic already then there is no error.

I as an admin can’t unlock topics. So there can be another glitches too.

This much I know:

- safe-mode doesn’t help
- commenting MaxMind in app.yml doesn’t help
- ubuntu is up to date and rebooted
- Discourse is rebuilded via shell yesterday and today twice
- that doesn’t happend here, obviously
- [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true), nothing fancy
- happends to everyone — well, mobiles anyway, desktops I don’t know, but because it is error 500 I don’t see how a device could be involved
- error:

This might be on me?

Try to disable AI Topic Summary.

Something is going wrong with your request to Open AI probably (hence 400)

I really should move that request to a job that is spawned in an independent thread.

I have not had time (work work work) to do that yet, but I will get around to it.

In the meantime check your model and account.

Yeah, you were right.

I never remember that safe-mode doesn’t shut down all plugins. We close-to-enduser-admins really need some mark to tell when safe-mode do the magic and when not.

(Please-please-please fix that when you have time; I really like that summary).

Note the fix will be to make it less of a disruption when it breaks.

It will not fix your 400 error - you may need to find out what is causing that and report back to me if it’s another bug.
