How long does it take to unblock the 429 rate limit?

Hello everyone, I’m using the GPT-4.0 API for summarizing website content and writing new content. Three days ago, I received the 429 rate limit error: “429 You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.”

I’m on Tier 3. I’ve adjusted my code to send requests more slowly, but it’s been three days, and I’m still getting the error. Does it usually take this long to be unblocked after hitting the rate limit? This is my first time encountering this issue.

Could you please guide me on how to resolve it?

Best,
Dimi

This is a common question. At the bottom of each Discourse topic is a section of related topics, one or more of them may be of value for your need.

You are likely out of funds and need to purchase more API credits.
