API giving Quota error even when new account is created and on checking the usage got all 5$ intact there

Hi @nikhil.p and welcome to the Forum!

In order to use the API you need to fund your account with a minimum amount of USD 5. OpenAI no longer grants free trial credits unfortunately. So what you are likely seeing is just a default limit of USD 5 that is automatically set at the point of account creation.

that means openai doesnot provide free 5$ anymore because i have been using it for quite a time and it was working before?

Yes, it is no longer available. Presumably as a result of some users having taken advantage of it.
