Welcome to the Forum!
Is it possible that you are exceeding your rate limits?
You are able to view the limits by Usage Tier here: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/usage-tiers?context=tier-one

I said I did not exceed the limit for the tier 1, my balance is now $5. with auto charge activated.
Apologies for my misunderstanding. I thought you were referring to the monthly limit set for your organization or project.
That said, the error message clearly indicates an issue with your requests. Perhaps you can take a second look at your code and inspect your requests. The following steps are generally suggested when this error occurs:
429 - Rate limit reached for requests
This error message indicates that you have hit your assigned rate limit for the API. This means that you have submitted too many tokens or requests in a short period of time and have exceeded the number of requests allowed. This could happen for several reasons, such as:
- You are using a loop or a script that makes frequent or concurrent requests.
- You are sharing your API key with other users or applications.
- You are using a free plan that has a low rate limit.
- You have reached the defined limit on your project
To resolve this error, please follow these steps:
- Pace your requests and avoid making unnecessary or redundant calls.
- If you are using a loop or a script, make sure to implement a backoff mechanism or a retry logic that respects the rate limit and the response headers. You can read more about our rate limiting policy and best practices in our rate limit guide.
- If you are sharing your organization with other users, note that limits are applied per organization and not per user. It is worth checking on the usage of the rest of your team as this will contribute to the limit.
- If you are using a free or low-tier plan, consider upgrading to a pay-as-you-go plan that offers a higher rate limit. You can compare the restrictions of each plan in our rate limit guide.
- Reach out to your organization owner to increase the rate limits on your project

In practice, it often turns out that there is a small bug in the code that causes this type of error, such as sending more tokens than intended (e.g. sending the full conversation history).

this is my API activity stats, My request code is not looping just one request is performed each time; the picture show the requests coming from the Playground , my API requests does not even reach or registered and get rejected with this 429
The problem was fixed.
I recently boost my balance but even if you see that your balance is positive the API requests or Playground may not be enabled instantly. It took me a couple of hours to be enabled after payment.
Note: the 429 error code is not compatible with this issue, please assign a specific code for that or at lease Change the error message.
