Hi Team rate limit question

[reef lynx]

If you have a $5 balance but see a message saying 0 credits remaining, it may be due to a delay or an issue with credit synchronization. Sometimes credits purchased via Stripe can take up to one hour to appear. If the issue persists beyond that, please contact support at [email protected] for assistance.

To check your current credit usage and limits, you can also make a GET request to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key with your API key to get accurate info about credits and rate limits.

Are you using credits purchased via Stripe or cryptocurrency?

credit card

[reef lynx]

You can purchase credits using major credit cards instantly on OpenRouter. Credits can be topped up manually or set to auto recharge when your balance falls below a set threshold. All pricing is in US dollars, and you can manage your credit balance and view usage on your credits page.

If you experience delays in credits appearing after purchase (especially via Stripe), please allow up to one hour. For issues beyond that, contact support on our Discord.

Do you want guidance on managing auto recharge or checking your credit usage via API?

just confirming if i have balance, since i have notused

[reef lynx]

To confirm your credit balance, you can make a GET request to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/credits with your API key. This will return your total credits purchased and total usage, where your current balance is the difference between the two.

Example request:

const response = await fetch('https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/credits', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer <OPENROUTER_API_KEY>' },
});
const { data } = await response.json();
// data.total_credits - data.total_usage = current balance

This will show your available balance even if you haven't used any credits yet Get credits.
