It's asking you to set your max_tokens lower (this refers to how much it's allowed to output).

I did not set anything in this value. I think it is the default set by OpenRouter

Depending on the provider, the maximum number of tokens that can be output may vary.

Please read the document link I attached and set the max_tokens value explicitly.

example: 'max_tokens = 20_000;'
