I started using the OpenAI API about two months ago and have already spent $55. However, I’ve noticed that I’m still stuck on tier 1. I was under the impression that reaching certain spending thresholds would upgrade my tier or unlock additional benefits/features, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could someone clarify if there’s a different process for tier upgrades or if I might be missing something? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
If all the payments were made within the first week, then you would not get a tier elevation.
Nor is API usage tier increased automatically after time passes.
You’d need to make at least a minimum payment again for recalculation after the time since initial payment has passed, the “trust” elapsed time of a particular tier.
It is all about how much money you spend buying credits, not making use of them…
