When does this happen?

IF When using Azure OpenAI GPT-5 model, the 'max_tokens' parameter is not supported and causes a BadRequestError.

How others solved it

THEN Replace 'max_tokens' with 'max_completion_tokens' in your request to Azure OpenAI GPT-5 models. Additionally, configure the model in LiteLLM using the 'azure/' prefix: model: azure/gpt-5/<deployment-name>.

model_list:
  - model_name: gpt-5
    litellm_params:
      model: azure/gpt-5/my-random-deployment-name
      api_base: os.environ/AZURE_API_BASE
      api_key: os.environ/AZURE_API_KEY
