Problems with billing information on a new account

API

I’m getting a code 429, now i know what you all think: another person with a code 429… I get it. Problem is, I do not know how i should go at this problem, which is the reason I decided to post it here.

I’m getting the code 429 when asking anything of the API. I’ve just made a new key and havent used any apikey within my account for about 3 years. My dashboard says i’ve used 0,- of 18,- of my budget this month.

I’m still getting the following errormessage:

error: {
      message: 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.',
      type: 'insufficient_quota',
      param: null,
      code: 'insufficient_quota'
    }
  }
}

Which to me doesnt make any sense. It is possible to use 18,- per month for free right? Why does it then state that somethign is wrong with my billing-information. I don’t want to add any billinginformation at this time since i’m only testing atm. Does anybody know what is going on? because i dont think its right that i’ve got to add billinginformation before i can use the free api.

A few years ago, yes, but a lot of people took advantage of it and signed up multiple times, etc.

Now, you need to apply at least $5 to get started. Still very much worth it, in my humble opinion!

Happy coding, and welcome to the community!

I’m also having the same issue, new account without any of the 18,- free to use tokens used… Still, it gives me this error with the same error message.
