Project does not have access to model “gpt-5.2” – 403 model_not_found error

[Ziyad_G]

I am receiving the following error when trying to use the gpt-5.2 model via the API:

403 – Project does not have access to model "gpt-5.2"
type: invalid_request_error
code: model_not_found

The full error message states:

“Project ‘proj_id’ does not have access to model ‘gpt-5.2’.”

i have verified that:

• The API key and project are valid

• Billing is active and in good standing

• There is currently no option in the OpenAI Dashboard to enable or manage access to this model

While GPT-5.2 appears to be available on the ChatGPT website, it does not seem to be accessible via the API for our OPEN AI project.

Could you please clarify:

1. Is GPT-5.2 officially available for API usage at this time?

2. If access is restricted, what is the correct process to request enablement for a project or organization?

3. Is there any expected timeline for general API availability of GPT-5.2?

Thank You
