Above, the you are missing the actual parameter value for messages.
It should be specified like the model (but with your variable with the json array object of messages instead of the model name as a string.) It is not a positional parameter.

Try to see what’s in messages it should look like [here](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/chat-completions-api) (an array).
If it’s indeed correct it could be useful to see what the error is saying.

Hey,
You should probably check your plan and billing details as suggested.
Here is a related post that might provide some help too: [429 Error : insufficient\_quota](https://community.openai.com/t/429-error-insufficient-quota/492350)
