I have seen another person with no usage and an increasing bill, I would suggest contacting the help site to log the issue.

For account related issues please use OpenAI Help Centre in the bottom right corner is a message icon. image click the icon and enter your issue, the bot will take your details and a member of the account support team will get back to you, it may take several weeks due to the number of people currently using the system.

I just encrypted API in my app, but the weird thing is, if it gets hacked after I remove the API key from my account, it should stop. However, my billing is increasing with no usage of the token.

Yes, I understand. I’m just waiting for a response.

Review “organizations” and see if anyone has gotten themselves an invite through different types of account compromise.

Can a regular Dall-e user report if the usage of that platform (that also comes from API money) has any record of its usage? I don’t even see a category for it for daily usage. One can also try out a removed key on that and see if they overlooked the deletion of API keys as a lockout on that platform. I’ll make some experimentation requests myself if nobody has more to suggest. Maybe other bugs exist in recording usage in uncommon models, such as those that were free beta for a while.

Another thing that might help higher-tier support (if you ever reach them) is to have your application always add a “user” parameter (or special prefix to that user field if you are already identifying your clients) that distinctly identifies your authorized application calls with information that the misuse can’t know.
