Just for added context, for me at least this occurs relatively frequenty and seems tied to response complexity and duration.
I see it often on gpt-5-mini with reasoning set to high. When I have a complex response churning away for, let’s say, more than 5 minutes, there is a good chance that eventually it will abort/quit/give-up with either a “Message is Empty” or sometimes a half-interrupted response.
In every situation, re-running the query with reasoning reduced to medium solves the problem as the response is returned much much faster.
