Hi Team,
I tried creating a new API token Key and it worked for the first time. But on the second request the openai.error.RateLimitError error occurred again. This had not been the case earlier. Could anyone help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,

"# How to handle rate limits\n",

"When you call the OpenAI API repeatedly, you may encounter error messages that say `429: 'Too Many Requests'` or `RateLimitError`. These error messages come from exceeding the API's rate limits.\n",
"\n",
"This guide shares tips for avoiding and handling rate limit errors.\n",
"\n",
"To see an example script for throttling parallel requests to avoid rate limit errors, see [api_request_parallel_processor.py](api_request_parallel_processor.py).\n",
"\n",
"## Why rate limits exist\n",
"\n",
"Rate limits are a common practice for APIs, and they're put in place for a few different reasons.\n",
"\n",
"- First, they help protect against abuse or misuse of the API. For example, a malicious actor could flood the API with requests in an attempt to overload it or cause disruptions in service. By setting rate limits, OpenAI can prevent this kind of activity.\n",
