You've exceeded the 6 request(s) every 360 minute(s) rate limit, please slow down and try again

I want to buy openai api but when i add the card it keeps saying ”getting an error that I have hit my rate of 300 request/min.”

Hi @Just_Yuri, great question. I just sent you an email to follow-up!

Hi, I am having the same issue. Any way to resolve this?

Hey, I also encounter this error: When I try to enter the card detail it keeps sending this error “You’ve exceeded the 300 request(s) every 360 minute(s) rate limit, please slow down and try again.“ Is there any solution? Thank you!

Hi @Kurkuromi, are you still blocked? On my end, it looks like you were successful Aug 26!

And @Stefanie_Porsiel, are you trying to set up a new subscription?

Hey there, Awesome, it works now. I’ve just stored my card.
This is how I proceeded:
”Your profile > Billing > Add payment details > Adding card details plus billing address > Pressing Continue > Setting my personal price limit > Save"

This is a backend payment processing issue. “Please slow down” is from Stripe. The API rate that OpenAI should have is not Stripe’s limits for noobs as default, but should be more along the lines of a billion dollars a month.

OpenAI made a huge intractable mistake by being so closely connected with a third-party platform for billing and logging API calls, along with the open-door hiring policy of those with vestments from the same company.

The rate language would seem to be based on you, but it is more likely to be based on OpenAI’s connection problems to its payment processor if you haven’t made multiple interactions with the platform site in adding cards.

Payment issues continue on OpenAI. Despite the opportunity to fix a significant issue a few weeks ago with unlocking new accounts, promoting tier, and crediting the payments, recent forum anecdotes of “paid but no service” still reappear recently.

If you can’t try again in 6 hours as the error would indicate…likely the larger platform issue…and at least you are blocked from making an uncredited payment.

I am getting the same problem. I tried to add my credit card. Need it to unblock a school project. Please help!
