When does this happen?

IF Merging a PR that updates the external model cost JSON file causes automatic routing from 'completions' to 'responses' API endpoints, leading to request failures without library version change.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable LITELLM_LOCAL_MODEL_COST_MAP='True' to force LiteLLM to use the local model cost map from the package backup file, preventing dynamic endpoint switching based on remote configuration changes. For production stability, consider pinning to a specific model cost file or monitoring the remote JSON for unexpected changes.

# In shell:
export LITELLM_LOCAL_MODEL_COST_MAP="True"

# Or in Python:
os.environ["LITELLM_LOCAL_MODEL_COST_MAP"] = "True"
