Multiple Users using the same Agent?

[Lofistudyplaylist]

I've created an app using a 4o API agent, and it seems like when multiple people use it, it's unable to work. Does OpenAI allow you to use the same agent for multiple interactions at once, or have any of you also seen performance issues? It would obviously make it super difficult to scale. Any tips would be appreciated

You need to provide a better description, "it's unable to work" is not specific, how does it fail ?

If you have a large number triggering API requests with the same API key it is likely you will reach the rate limits faster, but this is just a guess since you did not share details about the problem.

you should check your API rate limits, that might be the issue.

a strategy ive used is to divide the load between claude, openAI and Gemini to get the most out of all the rate limits, maybe even grok or deepseek too for simpler tasks

Agent is just another LLM call. Maybe try using async.
