Payment??

[light tendon]

Very new to all of this guys. I’ve been playing with chatgpt for a while. Just curious I was looking at my account and it says no usage and still 18$ free credit limit. Will I be notified when I’ve reached my limit and have to start paying?

i think u can use these credits on the playground to use the other GPT-3 Modules, but the credits end in a month

[light tendon]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. So is the basic chatgpt bot just free?

Cause I’m looking at the model usage and I see and some of the requests 2000 tokens?

[arctic pike]

for now at least, i was using the normal GPT-3 for around couple days and it didnt even took like 1-5$ from the credits, so unless you use it 24/7 for everything prop it should be enough

[light tendon]

Gotcha, just find it a little weird how it hasn’t accumulated any of the usage I’ve done so far😅 Just wanted to make sure I didn’t have to pay anything crazy.

[arctic pike]

u wont be paid something u didnt agree to

for example they wont charge you if you dont have credits

lol

u can even limit the credits used

[light tendon]

Yeah I didn’t even think about that 😅 but what are credits if you don’t mind me asking?

[arctic pike]

these 18$ balance

is free trial

so like if u want to use in future

u have to pay

and they charge per token

idk how this system exactly work so i cant help much

ask chat gpt 😂

[light tendon]

Sorry my head is everywhere rn that was a dumb question 😅

But I think I understand now a little more 😄

Hi, those credits are for the OpenAI playground where you can use it on davinci, codex, etc models

The credits will expire in 3 months, after the $18 is used up, your card will be charged

ChatGPT is free
