Free account, insufficient quota

API
1

I am using free account and using whisper-1 model for audio processing and the file size is under 15kb using the below code:

 transcription = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
        model = "whisper-1",
        response_format="text",
        file=audio_file,
        temperature=0.2,
        prompt="command"
    )

I always keep getting insufficient quota error, even if I call for the first time in a day! If there is no way free account can’t use, how can learners and aspiring professional get hands-on?

This section was removed from the Official Pricing Page of OpenAI. The Lowest you can start is with $5 and I promise you that these $5 are worth every penny if you just started Learning OpenAI.
