Billing exceeded and error: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details

My billing shows negative, I received no warnings, have plenty of credit. Now get “You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.” via the api - topped up extra funds over an hour ago and still won’t clear the error and billing still shows negative. This feels like something that should have gone away when I topped up the balance. Have tried a lot of things but still same issue. Any ideas? App is useless in production right now.

Welcome to the community!

The relevant OpenAI Help Center article says usage-limit errors can be related to the monthly budget/usage limits:

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6614457-why-am-i-getting-an-error-message-stating-that-i-ve-reached-my-usage-limit

So I’d check these first, if you already haven’t:

https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview

https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits

Also make sure the API key belongs to the same project/organization where the funds were added. If the balance/top-up still has not propagated and production is blocked, Support may need to check the billing/quota state directly. You can contact them through Help.

Thanks. Have tried all this, have gone to support also and it has been escalated as may be an issue on the backend in openai
