Exception rethrow issue with 3.18.0

[sidag99]

With the addition of retries in 3.18.0, the exception message instead of containing valid errors like "Auth exception" for an invalid API key, throws errors like "Request failed after 1 attempt". And when I rethrow it using OpenAIExceptionConverter.rethrow(e), it does not provide a valid OpenAIException.

SimpleOpenAIAzure simpleAzureOpenAI = SimpleOpenAIAzure.builder()
.apiKey(azureOpenAIKey)
.baseUrl(fullEndpoint)
.apiVersion(apiVersion)
.build();

I am not even using retries explicitly.

There should be some way to either bypass retries, or get the relevant exception message.

This works fine for 3.17.2

Please let me know if this needs more information, I am new to this.

Please, activate your logs and share the log file

These are the logs for the 2 versions. Testing with an invalid API key, but valid endpoint.

log_for_3.17.2_behaviour.log
log_for_3.18.0_behaviour.log

Please let me know if you need anything else @sashirestela

How are you handling the exceptions for simple-openai?
Could you share that part of your code?
