A new input might fix a ghost limit, then a little wait for it to take effect.

I will try this. But… Does OpenAI have ‘ghost limits’, or is that speculation? I can’t see why any company would implement that sort of thing on a platform that is designed to serve users and generate revenue.

Tier 5 user get the same issue, have you fix it?

It is just some oddity that has recently cropped up. Old budget limits used on people that had never set them or upgraded them.

To double check, is the API key being used from the Org with the Tier 4 limit? Sometimes an account may have more than one Org under it and this can lead to issues, if you are sure this key is from the correct Org please let me know and I’ll raise the issue.
