Hi there!

Other users have recently reported some delays in their Tiers getting upgraded. You can consider reaching out to OpenAI support via the chat widget on the developer platform.

I’m having the same issue. Initially I thought i had to spend $5+ but it appears it’s only required to fund the account. Doing some searching, it appears this issue has been going on for a year+ and for some people it took months. I contacted support via the chat box and am waiting for a reply. Having the Free-Tier RPD limits so low is absolutely crippling a project’s progress.

I just encountered the same problem!I topped up $5, but my account status did not change, it is still “Free Tier” and I cannot use the API.
