 * Hi and thanks for the plugin. Whenever I try to generate a content, I get: Error
   while calling OpenAI: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds
   with 0 out of 0 bytes received
 * Can you help me?

 * Hi,
 * Looks like OpenAI ran into many issues the past 24 hours. Can you try again? 
   Also, make sure your server can access “the outside world”, as security plugins
   or Cloudflare could break the requests.

 * Hi, I’m also seeing the same errror:
 * “Error while calling OpenAI: Error while calling OpenAI: cURL error 28: Operation
   timed out after 120001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received”
 * I just talked to my hosting and they told me everything is ok on their end. Do
   you know where the issue might be? I was using Bulk Generate in two different
   pages and both of them are showing the same error.
 * Thanks!

 * Don’t hesitate to come here if you want to talk about this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meow-apps-discord-channel/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meow-apps-discord-channel/).
   You’ll find maybe that you live in the same country, or using some security services
   or plugins that do this. Come on the Discord and talk with each other 🙂

 * Hey Jordy, thanks for the response 🙂 I joined Discord, thanks!! Unfortunately,
   I see many people facing the same issue but not too many responses. I’ll try 
   my luck again tomorrow,
 * Thanks and have a great day! Thanks again for the amazing plugin

 * Hey, now the issue says: “An error was caught (The reply sent by the server is
   broken.). Should we continue?” Any luck solving it? Thanks!!
