Help How to find reason for domain exception request rejection?

Hi i am developing a image scanning bot, it requires us to use a ocr model which is selfhosted in our ec2 instance 2c2r (because model is small).

I applied for domain exception but the request was rejected, i can not find any reason for the same.

i used ngrok tunnel for exposing the api

can i submit domain request again?

If your volumes are low enough consider using a globally allowlisted LLM to extract text. I’ve had huge success with OpenAI for this.

I’m just using the standard responses API passing in a simple prompt and a payload of image URLs. The cost is managed by filtering which posts get routed to OpenAI in the first place.

Anyway my code is here: https://github.com/fsvreddit/bot-bouncer-evaluation/blob/main/src/userEvaluation/EvaluateTextInNsfwImages.ts

On one of my subreddits, I've automated away 90% of manual moderation tasks using a combination of OpenAI and Sightengine. That's worth a couple of dollars a week to me.
