Upgrading Usage Tier after spending $250

API

hi, quick question. Im currently under Tier1, If i deposit 250$ to my credits balance will i automatically get access to o3-mini, or will i need to consume all the credits first to get access?

It’s time based too, I believe, based on days after your first payment?

Sometimes, I believe people have had to put in an extra $5 to get it to process., but that was a while ago, so it might be fixed.

that makes sense yes. I saw +14 days, but will the deposit suffice? i cannot find any info about that.

It should… If not, reach out to support and let them know, or try to “kick it” by depositing a little bit more.

Gonna move this to a new thread as it’s not really related.

The wrong question is asked as usual. Actual concern: “I want o3-mini”

Access to o3-mini and o1 models is not automatic. It is still rolling out, many waiting still after having been well-qualified already. Deployment is in batches to organizations, apparently “when we get around to it”, as there is not a hard push to destabilize the platform in order to deploy these new models (except magic ability to do exactly that in ChatGPT on day 1). Someone recently gaining tier 3 will be of lower priority in any system that still has a kernel of sense.

  • You should not pay more than you could possibly use in credits. They expire.
  • Calculation of tier is only done when making a new payment
  • The total paid with payment methods including the newest is evaluated
  • The time since the first payment is considered as a limiting factor
  • You receive a new tier.

Example tier elevation

So let’s say:

  • You paid $10 three weeks ago.
  • You paid $95 today
  • The new payment triggers a re-evaluation

Documentation: Tier 3 $100 paid and 7+ days since first successful payment

Total paid>=$100:

$105 = yes

First payment age >=7:

three weeks ago = yes

Result of payment

  • new tier 3 is granted
  • no new models for you

Using the credits doesn’t enter into tier calculation.

Hidden agenda and qualification enters into giving some organizations reasoning models before others.
