A developer encountered a bug where a ticket-classification service failed for longer messages, particularly in German and Japanese. The issue was not with the AI model itself, but with a mismatch in token counting between the client and the inference endpoint. The client code used a character limit that, due to different tokenization ratios for non-English languages, silently truncated prompts before the model could process the classification instructions. The fix involved implementing a token-based limit, adding a response marker for validation, and creating a regression test to prevent future occurrences. AI
