I am trying to use gpt api but i get this: 'Failed to access gpt: Error code: 429'

API
1

i added 10$ to my biling to use api but i was surprised that its not work.
and then i checked the internet and i found thousand of people having my same problem which was more surprising.
how can you keep a bug like this more than a year?
please dont tell me check your limits or any settings because i am sure i did everything right . the problem is a bug from your side .

I had similar issues. Just checking…when you go to https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
what do you see under “Credit balance”?

Hi,
The issue might have been that you hit an organizational limit maybe?
You can check it from: https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits
Hope this helps :slight_smile:

then there can be really any other issue’s other than that, the only thing you could additionally check is if the API Key is correctly initialized.
Otherwise best thing would be to contact openai support.

i found the problem … Error code: 429 - {‘error’: {‘message’: ‘You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details}
this message error is wrong. the problem was not billing .
it was your documents about using api in python … when i use this it worked:
os.environ[‘OPENAI_API_KEY’] = os.getenv(“OPEN_AI_API_KEY”)

but in your tutorial u said use this:
client = OpenAI( api = os.getenv(“OPEN_AI_API_KEY”))

this last code cause me the issue … wasted 4 days to find

This turned out to be the solution to my 429 error as well. Thanks for sharing @jotar2012. It seems silly for the OpenAI team to send back a quota reached error for what should be an invalid API call error. I hope they notice this post and raise it as a bug.
