ChatGPT -- You exceeded your current quota

[hedkase]

The ChatGPT/DALL-E workflow is throwing error "You exceeded your current quota" when attempting to use it. I've created an API key and have a ChatGPT subscription. Any idea why this is occurring?

 

This is the first API I've created and I only use ChatGPT a couple times a month.

 

One thing to note, my ChatGPT subscription is through Apple's App Store.

@hedkase It'd be worth logging in to your OpenAI account to check that you have credit on file. The ChatGPT Plus subscription is for access through the website, API access is billed separately.

Having said that, it's also worth noting that OpenAI were reporting API error issues today (March 18th) on their status page so these errors may be caused by their issues depending on your timing:

Ah, ok. Didn't realize it was a separate charge. Thanks for that!

I'm still getting the error on 19 March; chatGPT says it should be resolved? I'm using 3.5 and haven't used any of my available (free account) credits.

@bob113 Did you check that your credits are still active? I believe they expire after three months from account creation, at which point you'll need to top up.

Sorry just saw this. I see, I have lots of credits but all expired. Thanks for clarifying that.

To help others, here's something that's a little easy to overlook in the above conversation:

 

Please note that the ChatGPT Plus subscription does not include access to the ChatGPT API and are billed separately. The API has its own pricing, which can be found at https://openai.com/pricing.

 

I was scratching my head for a while, not understanding why despite having an active PLUS subscription, I couldn't get this to work.
