I have credits but I still get "You exceeded your current quota"

Adding credits wasn’t easy, all my cards were getting rejected. In the end I had to select to auto recharge (which is not what I wanted) but that solved my problem, now I have credits. But still when I try to use it I get:

{‘error’: {‘message’: ‘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.’, ‘type’: ‘insufficient_quota’, ‘param’: None, ‘code’: ‘insufficient_quota’}}

I tried by creating a new API key, but I still get the same problem…
Here I saw many users with the same problem, but I read that this problem was solved. In that case it seems the problem re appeared.

Please let me know how can I fix this.

I am currently facing the same issue. I recharged, set up auto-recharge but still get the error:
You’ve reached your usage limit.

Finally it’s working for me. I didn’t do anything so it seems I just had to wait.

Same is happening here… I have loaded more than 20USD but I am getting the same. Status: 429 Too Many Requests.

{
“error”: {
“message”: “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.”,
“type”: “insufficient_quota”,
“param”: null,
“code”: “insufficient_quota”
}
}

Getting this same error. It’s very frustrating. I have been trying to fix it for 2 hours now.

I’ve added funds to the account, created api keys. Not sure whats wrong!!

I have just signed up, put some credits in my account and got an API key but get openai.RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - {‘error’: {‘message’: ‘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.’, ‘type’: ‘insufficient_quota’, ‘param’: None, ‘code’: ‘insufficient_quota’}}

When I know I have credits in my account and I haven’t made any requests so must be under quota, how was this resolved?

The payment itself may take hours to take effect and become spendable, despite the credit balance showing - a problem persistent for a long time with OpenAI. That sounds like what you be encountering if you call free tier models gpt-3.5 or gpt-4o-mini on your new account.

Now OpenAI has left their tier elevation system broken for over a week, which impacts you with paltry “free” rate limits, and likely leaving you with lack of access to GPT-4 models only available at tier 1, or serviceable rate limits only at higher tier.

Until OpenAI themselves comes here and says “we apologize for the user neglect, having now read the dozens of threads and abundant social media posts about the tier problem we created, and have elevated the tier of all who paid and have fixed the ultimate problem with tier recalculations for all, making it now automatic even after simply time requirements are elapsed”, I would send your API payment to another AI provider if you don’t already have the OpenAI account service level you need.
