The API Version property depends on the method you are calling in the API: all methods are not supported in all API versions.

And preview API lifecycle is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/api-version-deprecation => check those pages for up-to-date references

As of March 7th, 2024: Example: "completions" endpoint is available in the following versions (ordered by date):

But "chat completions" endpoint is available only in the following versions (ordered by date):

2024-02-15-preview
2023-12-01-preview (retiring April 2, 2024)
2023-09-01-preview (retiring April 2, 2024)
2023-08-01-preview (retiring April 2, 2024)
2023-07-01-preview (retiring April 2, 2024)
2023-06-01-preview (still supported, due to DALL-E 2)
2023-05-15
2023-03-15-preview (retiring April 2, 2024) Because basically it was not offered in the initial API.

Generally, use the latest "not preview" version for production when possible, as the preview versions might be retired on a more frequent basis.
