Hi,
We are running NIM for gpt-oss-120b (image: nvcr.io/nim/openai/gpt-oss-120b:2.0.5)
on Kubernetes and started getting 402 Payment Required errors when the container
tries to download model files from NGC.
**Environment:**
-
NIM Image: nvcr.io/nim/openai/gpt-oss-120b:2.0.5
-
Deployment: Kubernetes (EKS)
-
NGC Account: hmaniconcertai
-
NIM_CACHE_PATH: /opt/nim/.cache
**Issue:**
The model was working fine until mid-May 2025. After a pod restart,
NIM started failing with 402 Payment Required when attempting to
download model profiles.
Container pull from nvcr.io works successfully. Only the model file
download step fails with 402.
Error from download-to-cache --all --dry-run:
HTTP 402 Payment Required for all model profiles
**What we need:**
Can you please check if the entitlement/subscription for gpt-oss-120b
is still active on our NGC account? Or let us know what license is
required to access this model.
Thank you
