I have this error in the logs.

When i try to add my openai api key it just always shows connection failed.

My other api keys are working perfectly, and i double checked that the key is correct.

The error shown in the image you provided is related to n8n's encryption key being changed or lost. Have you changed N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY ? If it wasn't set, n8n generates one automatically and saves it to ~/.n8n folder. So, was that folder deleted?

It was working fine yesterday and today it just decided to stop working. I didn't touch it at all.

Where do I find said folder to check the variable.

Since the encryption key is lost, can you start a new project? It's the cleanest way at this point. If you go with that route, make sure to set a value to N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY .
