Might it be because I just put credit on my balance, that my api key isn’t yet aware of this and it just takes a while to sync?

You report something atypical. The symptom often seen is instead a considerable wait to be able to spend at all, not a wait for tier. The rate limits reported of 3 RPM are that of “free tier” which, with the discontinuation of trial credits, basically nobody should be in that can use the API.

You can pick your own strategy of waiting even longer, another small payment to retrigger tier promotion properly, or sending a message to “help” via the platform site. You can view your current tier under “limits”.
