Hey everyone!
I have three quick questions regarding OpenAI’s billing and tier structure—I hope someone here can clarify:
1. Withdrawals from OpenAI balance:
Once I deposit money into my OpenAI account, is it possible to withdraw the unused balance, or is it non-refundable?
2. GPT-4o-mini response time improvement:
Right now, I’m using GPT-4o-mini at Tier 1, and each request takes approximately 6 seconds to respond. If I upgrade to Tier 4, can I expect a noticeable improvement in response time? If so, roughly how much faster is it?
3. Maintaining Tier 4:
After reaching Tier 4 by depositing $250, do I have to deposit an additional $250 each month to maintain that tier, or is the tier upgrade permanent once achieved?
Thanks a lot for any clarification you can provide!
