I checked with my bank and they have seen no attempt to draw from my credit card, which has ample balance. Despite me being a Canadian citizen, and Canada being on the OpenAI list of supported countries, I am consistently refused on multiple machines, with or without VPN, with or without incognito/private mode, day after day.
I now have a potential client offering a contract to me that I cannot take because I do not have OpenAI API access. The slow OpenAI response is now impacting my ability to work. The last email I sent took them an entire month to respond to !?!? The crazy thing is that I’m already paying for ChatGPT services so the left hand is taking money and the right hand is slapping me.
