This has to be some bug or loophole, my app uses Apple In App Purchase system, so a user cannot access chatgpt without paying for credits. This is super confusing and strange. I hope someone can help me. I stopped my app from being distributed in Nepal but this is only a temporary fix. Open AI may have to block Nepal from an API level

what are the usage limits of your OpenAI account?

#

values over 200$ should need a limit increase request

#

12000$ should not be possible to reach unless you had this value set as a limit for your account

#

you should definetly contact support@openai.com

Is it possible your private key was extracted from your app?

@late cloud That account had a limit of $12,000, I requested the limit so my app would work even with the uptick in traffic but my uptick was not $12,000 in one day

#

@tiny wyvern I am convinced openai api is hacked

#

@dusty pilot I mean that could be possible but iPhone apps are super hard to crack.
