My key got the above error but when I created a new key the problem was solved. But I want my old key to work .
Welcome to the community.
Quota is enforced on account not on key.
Your old key should work just as your new key does. If that’s not the case you can delete the key you do not use anymore.

Why is my old key not working even though I have increased my limit
Hello,
I have the same problem. I have not exceeded the quota, yet the message tells me that I have exceeded it and that I must change plans. I even tried to create a new account and despite that the message persists!

Same here. I haven’t even used any API key anywhere before, but it gives me that error message all the time:
“ERROR using your OpenAI API key. You’ve exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details”
Why is that?

Thanks for your answer! I added 2 valid CCs and it doesn`t work.
Once you add a payment method, you should create a new API key and use that. Revoke the old one.
Update - now it works. I got an error message that my account was canceled and i have to setup a new payment method. The message was not there for a nearly a week. Thanks for your help!

so if you were helped by adding the payment method and creating a new apikey?
It already worked for me, but why is it working only by paying? Before you could in the free version
