Hi @tropic meadow. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The error message "Too Many Requests" is related to the rate limit set by OpenAI for API requests. This limit is the maximum number of requests and tokens that can be submitted per minute. If the limit is reached, you cannot successfully submit requests until the rate limit is reset.
There could be several reasons why you're seeing this error:
- You might be using a loop or a script that makes frequent or concurrent requests.
- You might be sharing your API key with other users or applications.
- You might be using a free plan that has a low rate limit.
To resolve this error, you can:
- Pace your requests and avoid making unnecessary or redundant calls.
- If you are using a loop or a script, make sure to implement a backoff mechanism or a retry logic that respects the rate limit and the response headers.
- If you are sharing your organization with other users, note that limits are applied per organization and not per user. It is worth checking the usage of the rest of your team as this will contribute to this limit.
- If you are using a free or low-tier plan, consider upgrading to a pay-as-you-go plan that offers a higher rate limit.
If you would like to increase your rate limits, you can do so by increasing your usage tier (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/usage-tiers). You can view your current rate limits, your current usage tier, and how to raise your usage tier/limits in the Limits section (https://platform.openai.com/account/limits) of your account settings.
