Hello,  
I’m having trouble verifying my organization. I purchased credits, and now I’d like to use my API key in my program, but I’m getting the following message:  
I should mention that I’ve already verified my organization. The first attempt failed, the second attempt was successful, but I still don’t have access after more than 6 hours.

“OpenAI API error: Your organization must be verified to use the model `gpt-image-1`. Please go to: [https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general) and click on Verify Organization. If you just verified, it can take up to 15 minutes for access to propagate.”
