I have a very big problem, I have been trying to use the codeGPT extension on visual studio code, to be more specific I want to use chatGPT 4, the problem is that when I was generating the API key asked me to verify with my phone number, which I did, however my phone number is also connected to my regular chatgpt(the first I created and is not plus), so the API key is not for GPT 4 but for 3.5. Is there a way to create my key for GPT 4? I think it is unfair i cannot create it even though I am already paying the PLUS suscription. Any help will be welcome.
First: The API is completely separate from ChatGPT’s entitlements.
Second: You’ll need to have purchased account credit in your OpenAI API organization in order to use GPT-4 models, or really any AI, as they stopped granting free credits about a month ago.
Check settings → billing on the platform.openai.com management site.
First, ensure that you have a purchased credit balance there.
If adding your first credits, it may take several hours for full rights to be unlocked, and even generating another API key may be necessary.
Then, you can watch for signs that it is ready for use: you’ll be at least “tier 1” in limits, and GPT-4 models will be showing their limits. You’ll be able to chat with GPT-4 models in the “playground” and be able to pay for those services.
The phone verification should be of little consequence, unless you have used the phone number on multiple accounts beyond 3 and are simply getting denied.
