Hi @crystal kiln. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The rate limits for the ChatGPT API depend on the type of user you are. According to the OpenAI documentation (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7232945-how-can-i-use-the-chatgpt-api), the rate limits are as follows:
- Free trial users: 20 requests per minute (RPM) and 40,000 tokens per minute (TPM)
- Pay-as-you-go users (first 48 hours): 60 RPM and 60,000 TPM
- Pay-as-you-go users (after 48 hours): 3500 RPM and 90,000 TPM
If you're receiving a "Too many requests in 1 hour" message, it's likely that you're hitting one of these rate limits. The rate limits apply to the total number of requests or tokens you send in a minute, not just the number of messages.
If you're consistently hitting these rate limits, you might need to adjust your usage to stay within them. For example, you could try sending fewer requests, reducing the number of tokens in each request, or spacing out your requests more evenly over time.
