Hi there, I have been using the openAI API for a while, but haven’t in a few months.
It has always worked for me without any problems.
Yesterday however, I started working with it and after a few 100 calls I got the message ‘You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.’
However, my usage is not on its limit, see:
As you can see, the 2.44 I spent yesterday without any issues, and this is not near my limit.
Does anybody know what is going on, and how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi and welcome to the Community!
The issue is that you don’t have any funds available. Limit does not equal funds. Your funds are visible under balance - in your case it shows that you have USD 0 balance available. You need to go to settings and billing and then add additional funds to your account via a credit card.
Let us know if you have any more questions regarding this.

Ok, I did not know that, thanks!
I was under the impression that I used to be billed automatically.
Has this changed?

Yes, OpenAI migrated to prepaid billing in the past months. You should have received communication from them via email on this.
Hm, I have no email from them about it in mail mail box. But thanks again!
