Is there a way to check if an API key does not have a payment method?

Having a lot of issues because people insert their API key and claim my services don’t work. Have no way of finding this information via the docs.

“Check your plan” is a good message string to match. The API key works, but there’s no funding or available spending allowance behind it.

RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - {‘error’: {‘message’: ‘You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.’, ‘type’: ‘insufficient_quota’, ‘param’: None, ‘code’: ‘insufficient_quota’}}

You can just send a “hi” message to check the response when user set the api key.
And just show user the error if it does not return status 200.

The issue is this doesn’t happen unless you’ve exceeded the quota already. The alternative is to attempt and exceed the quota for the user yourself, which doesn’t seem like a good solutiion.

Is this regarding testing if a coded solution works? Certainly you can find a way to register another account and not fund it…
