Keep getting rate limited

[small drum]

I keep getting rate limited, this is my first time using openai module so I’m not exactly familiar with it, I followed an old tutorial but migrated all of the code to the new openai version, but the issue kept appearing.

This means that your API key doesn't have enough credits left

[small drum]

Yeah but it’s a brand new API key, I just created it.

But did you link a credit card to your account?

[small drum]

Didn’t know you had to, apologies.

Although, is there a way to do it free?

[sinful atlas]

You normally get around $18 free credits that you can spend in the first three months, so if you have an account longer than that, the free credits are expired and you'll need to link a credit card

okay it says i’ve used 0$ of 18$ in credits so
