fix(openai): record duration and token metrics for the Responses API - #4697
The Responses API wrappers (`responses_get_or_create_wrapper` and `async_responses_get_or_create_wrapper`) only received the tracer. The instrumentor never gave them the token-usage or duration histograms, and neither they nor `ResponseStream` recorded any metric. Responses calls produced spans but no `gen_ai.client.operation.duration` or `gen_ai.client.token.usage` points, on success or on failure.
Change
The Responses create/retrieve/parse wrappers, sync and async, now receive the token and duration histograms. Round 2:
- Duration is recorded only when a span is emitted, from the span's start time. Background polls and repeat retrieves add no points.
- Error points now carry operation, provider, server.address, stream, request model and `error.type`.
- A failure while processing a completed stream now records an error duration point.
Tests go through the real wrappers using `httpx.MockTransport`, sync and async: create (stream and non-stream), parse, 500 errors, a mid-stream `ReadError`, early close, and background create/retrieve/repeat. The new tests, `test_responses.py`, `test_exceptions.py` and ruff pass.
Behaviour changes: with metrics enabled, each emitted Responses span adds one duration point plus input and output token points. Failed calls and stream errors add one duration point with `error.type`. A stream closed early adds one duration point without tokens.
Not addressed: `responses.cancel` and `.with_raw_response.create(stream=True)` record no metrics, because cancel only closes an existing span and raw streams are untraced.

Package suites: no new failures against the offline baseline.
Ruff: clean.
Review
The Responses create/retrieve/parse wrappers, sync and async, now record gen_ai.client.operation.duration and gen_ai.client.token.usage once per emitted span. Call failures, stream errors and failures after stream completion record an error.type duration point. Early stream close records a duration point. Attributes match chat's. The tests use the real wrappers through httpx.MockTransport for sync/async, stream, parse, error and background cases. Remaining gaps are minor: test style, the "chat" literal, and no exception counter.
Before merging
CI green: Lint, Build Packages, Test Packages (3.10, 3.11, 3.12)
OpenAI Responses API telemetry now reports token usage and request duration for synchronous and asynchronous calls, including streamed responses. Duration is recorded for failed calls and stream errors; token usage is recorded for completed responses. Failed requests include error details in duration metrics, while token metrics focus on input and output usage. Streams closed after receiving a completed response also record duration and token usage.
The OpenAI Responses API instrumentation now records duration and token-usage metrics for synchronous and asynchronous calls. It also records duration metrics for request failures and stream lifecycle outcomes.
A telemetry wrapper forwards the tracer and optional metric instruments. Sync and async Responses registrations now pass the token and duration histograms.
Sync and async Responses calls record duration and token usage for completed responses, and duration for request failures. Tests cover success, server errors, failed response statuses, and background response retrieval.
ResponseStream records duration and token usage on completion, duration on stream errors, and duration during cleanup. Closing a stream after a terminal response processes that response before cleanup. Tests cover broken streams, early closure, and closure after completion.

Explanation
The title names the OpenAI Responses API and the two metric types the change adds: duration and token usage. The raw summary and PR objectives confirm that the changeset adds gen_ai.client.operation.duration and token-usage recording to the synchronous and asynchronous Responses create, retrieve, and parse wrappers, and that the stream wrapper records the same metrics. The title is specific and short. It does not mention the stream-closure handling or the error-type attributes, but those are secondary details.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #4585 requires gen_ai.client.operation.duration for Responses API calls, with error.type on failure, and gen_ai.client.token.usage (input and output) from response usage. It requires this for sync and async, streaming and non-streaming calls.
Verified at head: v1/init.py passes tokens_histogram and duration_histogram to Responses.create, Responses.retrieve, Responses.parse, AsyncResponses.create, AsyncResponses.retrieve, and AsyncResponses.parse. The cancel wrappers are unchanged. The histograms are created only when metrics are enabled, as for Chat Completions.
From the whole-PR summary and the prior review of the responses_wrappers.py diff: the non-streaming success path and the except path record duration. Failures set error.type to the exception class name. Token points come from usage. ResponseStream records duration and tokens on completion, records an error duration point on stream errors, and records a duration point without tokens on early close. Failed terminal responses set error.type from the response error code or "failed".
The whole-PR diffs for init.py and utils.py could not be read in this review. The wiring check used the head file. The recording logic relies on the prior review and the summary. The four named regression tests are reported as failing on base and passing at head. I did not run them.
Not required by #4585: responses.cancel, raw streaming create, the exception counter, and the "chat" operation literal.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes support the Responses metric objective. utils.py adds _with_responses_telemetry_wrapper, which passes the histograms to the Responses wrappers. v1/init.py wires the histograms into the Responses registrations and leaves the cancel wrappers unchanged. responses_wrappers.py adds metric helpers and the ResponseStream state needed to record metrics. The ResponseStream.close and aclose change processes an already received terminal response before cleanup. The summary ties this change to token recording, because the terminal response carries usage. It changes span timing only for streams closed after a terminal event. Import updates serve the new metric attributes. Tests and cassettes cover the new behavior.
The whole-PR utils.py and test diffs could not be read in this review. This assessment relies on the summary and the prior review of responses_wrappers.py. No unrelated behavior change appears in the available evidence.

Close the stream even if completion processing fails.
If metric attribute construction fails and the configured exception logger also raises, _process_complete_response() can propagate the error. Direct close() or aclose() then skips cleanup and stream delegation, leaving the stream open. Use nested finally blocks so cleanup and the available underlying close method run even if processing or cleanup raises.

These tests only use hand-built SSE events through httpx.MockTransport. They check our own guess at the Responses event sequence, not the real one. Please add a VCR-recorded test (@pytest.mark.vcr, gpt-6-luna, max_output_tokens ≤ 256) that streams a real Responses call, closes the stream right after response.completed, and asserts that gen_ai.client.token.usage points are recorded, sync and async. It needs a newly recorded cassette, because none of the existing ones cover this flow.

The change is needed: Responses calls record no duration or token metrics today (#4585), and the approach is right. Two robustness problems should be fixed before merge, and most of the tests should use cassettes. Details are in the inline comments.
Must fix
Background responses lose their token metrics against the real API. responses_wrappers.py:723 (and :915 async) reads usage=existing_data.get("usage", parsed_response.usage). The real queued create returns usage: null, that None is stored, and .get() returns it because the key exists. The completed retrieve's usage is never used. The bug was already there, but the new token metric depends on it. The mocked _background_handler puts usage on the queued response, which hides it.
Metric attributes are built outside @dont_throw. metric_shared_attributes calls the user-supplied Config.get_common_metrics_attributes(). If it raises, a successful call raises to the caller, and in the except branch it replaces the user's original exception. Chat builds its metrics inside _handle_response, which is @dont_throw.
Smaller
Error points measure from this call's start_time, while the span uses traced_data.start_time. A failed background poll also counts as a failed operation.
An instrumentation failure in _process_complete_response records an error.type point even though the API call succeeded.
status="failed" adds error.type to the metric, but the span stays OK without error.type.
Edge case: a background stream that ends on a non-terminal status emits a span and a metric point, then a later retrieve emits another, so the operation is counted twice.
Simplicity
Put the terminal-response check in _ensure_cleanup, not in close/aclose, so __del__ is covered too.
One @dont_throw_record_metrics(...) helper that builds the attributes and records both metrics would replace _responses_metric_attributes, _error_metric_attributes, _record_duration, _record_token_usage, _metric_attributes and _record_error_duration, and would fix issue 2.
Tests
The cases are well chosen, but only 2 of about 30 use cassettes. The rest run on about 150 lines of hand-built httpx.MockTransport fixtures, which test our guess at the API's event sequence. These should be VCR (gpt-6-luna, max_output_tokens ≤ 256, a separate sync and async cassette for each):
create, create (stream), parse
background create → retrieve → retrieve again (this would catch issue 1)
a real API error (an invalid model gives a 400/404), stream and non-stream, instead of the mocked 500
a stream closed early, and a stream closed after response.created
Keep mocks only where a recording can't produce the case: the mid-stream ReadError, and maybe status="failed". The cassette is scrubbed correctly.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Building the attributes here runs outside @dont_throw: only _record_duration/_record_token_usage are wrapped, not the arguments passed to them. metric_shared_attributes → Config.get_common_metrics_attributes() is a user callback. If it raises, the user's call raises after the span has already ended, even though the API call succeeded. Chat avoids this because it builds metrics inside @dont_throw _handle_response. Suggestion: one @dont_throw _record_metrics(...) that builds the attributes and records both metrics. The same applies at :957.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
traced_data.usage is None for a real background response. At :723, usage=existing_data.get("usage", parsed_response.usage) returns the stored None from the queued create, because the key exists, so the completed retrieve's usage is never used and no token points are recorded. The bug was already there, but this metric depends on it. Fix: existing_data.get("usage") or parsed_response.usage (and the same at :915). test_responses_background_retrieve_metrics doesn't catch this because the mocked queued response includes usage.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Two issues here:
The attributes are built before _record_duration runs, so they're outside @dont_throw. If get_common_metrics_attributes() raises, that exception replaces the user's original exception and the error span is never emitted.
Duration is measured from this call's start_time, but the span below uses traced_data.start_time. This contradicts "duration from the span's start time" in the description, and a failed background poll gets counted as a failed operation.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
A failed response gets error.type on the metric, but set_data_attributes leaves the span OK with no error.type. Should the span be marked as an error too, so the two agree? Otherwise, drop this from the metric.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
This builds the full attribute set and then deletes GEN_AI_RESPONSE_MODEL. It would be simpler to build only the attributes it needs. Together with _responses_metric_attributes, _record_duration, _record_token_usage, _metric_attributes and _record_error_duration, this could be a single _record_metrics(...) helper.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
This except catches failures in our own processing (set_data_attributes and so on), not API failures. The call succeeded, but it is recorded as an error.type operation. Should instrumentation bugs count toward the operation's error rate?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Most of these tests use hand-built responses through httpx.MockTransport. Real recordings already exist in tests/traces/cassettes/test_responses/. Please switch create, create (stream), parse, the background flow and a real API error (invalid model → 400/404) to VCR, with a separate sync and async cassette for each. Keep mocks only for what a recording can't produce: the mid-stream ReadError, and maybe status="failed".
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The real API returns usage: null on a queued create. Reusing _RESPONSES_BODY puts usage on the queued response, so this test passes even though background token metrics are broken (see the comment on responses_wrappers.py:767). A recorded create → retrieve cassette would catch it.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
The async test reuses the sync cassette through a hard-coded path. Record a separate _async.yaml, as the traces tests do. Also, these tests could live in test_openai_metrics.py with cassettes under cassettes/test_openai_metrics/, which avoids the second _collect_points copy.

Fixes #4585
Root cause
The Responses API wrappers (`responses_get_or_create_wrapper` and `async_responses_get_or_create_wrapper`) only received the tracer. The instrumentor never gave them the token-usage or duration histograms, and neither they nor `ResponseStream` recorded any metric. Responses calls produced spans but no `gen_ai.client.operation.duration` or `gen_ai.client.token.usage` points, on success or on failure.
Change
The Responses create/retrieve/parse wrappers, sync and async, now receive the token and duration histograms. Round 2:
- Duration is recorded only when a span is emitted, from the span's start time. Background polls and repeat retrieves add no points.
- Error points now carry operation, provider, server.address, stream, request model and `error.type`.
- A failure while processing a completed stream now records an error duration point.
Tests go through the real wrappers using `httpx.MockTransport`, sync and async: create (stream and non-stream), parse, 500 errors, a mid-stream `ReadError`, early close, and background create/retrieve/repeat. The new tests, `test_responses.py`, `test_exceptions.py` and ruff pass.
Behaviour changes: with metrics enabled, each emitted Responses span adds one duration point plus input and output token points. Failed calls and stream errors add one duration point with `error.type`. A stream closed early adds one duration point without tokens.
Not addressed: `responses.cancel` and `.with_raw_response.create(stream=True)` record no metrics, because cancel only closes an existing span and raw streams are untraced.

The Responses create/retrieve/parse wrappers, sync and async, now record gen_ai.client.operation.duration and gen_ai.client.token.usage once per emitted span. Call failures, stream errors and failures after stream completion record an error.type duration point. Early stream close records a duration point. Attributes match chat's. The tests use the real wrappers through httpx.MockTransport for sync/async, stream, parse, error and background cases. Remaining gaps are minor: test style, the "chat" literal, and no exception counter.
