Why can't I access the API with paid credits?

I put 5 dollars to test the API and whenever I try to use the API or interact with it in the playground, the quota limit is set, I have already increased the limit and everything and nothing works

There have been issues with OpenAI’s payment system causing delays in activating accounts to use services, continuing over the weekend, beyond the typical few minutes to a few hours it takes to be “unlocked” for spending.

You can double-check that in the platform site’s “billing”, that you see a current credit balance in your account of what you paid.

Then, since it is late Sunday night, wait for OpenAI to apply a comprehensive fix to all accounts recently that are so-affected.
