so I am creating a small text generation project and I am looking to use the open AI text davinci 003 model. I have created a new account, generated an API key but the dashboard states I have $0 to use for api requests. I have seen that this has been a problem for a while based on previous posts on this forum and it seems to still not be resolved by the open AI team. I also as expected trigger an exception when i hit the endpoint using Curl, " You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details."
You only get free credits for the first account associated with your phone number. Subsequent accounts are not granted free credits. I think this may include ChatGPT registration, not just API.
You’ll either need to add billing info and pay, or submit a ticket at help.openai.com but be prepared to wait a week+.
