How to move up in Usage Tiers

Welcome.

### Usage tiers

You can view the rate and usage limits for your organization under the limits section of your account settings. As your usage of the OpenAI API and your spend on our API goes up, we automatically graduate you to the next usage tier. This usually results in an increase in rate limits across most models.

Tier Qualification Usage limits
Free User must be in an allowed geography $100 / month
Tier 1 $5 paid $100 / month
Tier 2 $50 paid and 7+ days since first successful payment $500 / month
Tier 3 $100 paid and 7+ days since first successful payment $1,000 / month
Tier 4 $250 paid and 14+ days since first successful payment $5,000 / month
Tier 5 $1,000 paid and 30+ days since first successful payment $10,000 / month

Note, though, even at Tier 5 you might run into snags with the API (including low latency…) However, once you get to a certain point, you can likely contact sales, but there’s a lot of companies spending a lot of money right now, so you might have to work with the lower levels…

Hope this helps!
