What are the exact criteria for reaching higher API Usage Tier limits?

I am aware of the following Usage Tier chart, but it is not clear if the indicated paid amounts are based on the lifetime consumption of the account or for a specific time period. Does anyone know the answer?

It’s lifetime paid :slight_smile:

I was Tier 4 and I went ahead and bought enough credits to get to Tier 5. It took a day or so to get bumped up but I finally got bumped up.

Good to know! It’s a drawback of me using several accounts since my spent is split.

Good idea, I’ll do the same. Tier 5 will help me resolve a lot of issues with my current TPM

To confirm, you guys found that simply paying got you bumped to a higher tier? You don’t have to actually use it? I’m still very low tier, but am eyeing paying the rest of $100 to get access to o1!
