Open AI API Key Gives Quota Error

Although I have tried for hours, the Open AI support service has not responded to my support requests, so I am asking you. I have coded a chatgpt application for my own personal use (I will not sell my product) in Python, but I got an error that you have exceeded your usage quota, although I have not used my API key even once. Please help me to solve this problem. If you help me, I will code an application as a gift in the programming language of your choice.

You’ll need to add a credit card to Billing section if you haven’t

I am 13 years old, so I have not got a credit card, I can not add any credit card to that place. Why OpenAI does not supports developer children :expressionless:. Can I contact to the OpenAI for this, maybe they can support me?

You could ask a parent or guardian to create an account and ask their permision to use that.

If you have not used the API key even once, I am wondering if linking a credit card helped? was it helpful.
Also, was it usage quota or token quota which was being exceeded?

But I want to use trial API, and my parents are not giving permission for this. Is not Open AI giving an API key without a credit card and with quota? Because I want to use the trial version with quota but they are not giving permission for my API key.I want to ask you, can I contact Open AI with e-mail?

I had not used my API key before and I have used it once time at my Python programme but it has given me this error. And I can not add a credit card because of parents. So I want to use the trial version with quota but Open AI does not give permission. I want to ask you, can I contact Open AI with e-mail?

If you are under 18 you need your parents permission to use the API. The API is also not free, you’ll need a credit card to pay for it.

I understood, thank you for mail.
