Hi @versed compass. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Yes, the Free Tier can be used to make API calls to api.openai.com. However, there are certain limitations in terms of usage. For instance, the Free Tier allows you to spend up to $100 per month. The rate limits for the Free Tier for different models are as follows:
gpt-3.5-turbo: 3 requests per minute (RPM), 200 requests per day (RPD), and 40,000 tokens per minute (TPM)text-embedding-3-small: 3 RPM, 200 RPD, and 150,000 TPMwhisper-1: 3 RPM, 200 RPDtts-1: 3 RPM, 200 RPDdall-e-2: 5 images per minutedall-e-3: 1 image per minute
Please note that these are high-level summaries and there may be per-model exceptions to these limits. You can view the exact rate limits per model for your account by visiting the limits section (https://platform.openai.com/account/rate-limits) of your account settings.
If you exceed your current quota, you may need to check your plan and billing details. If you don't have a grant, you'll have to add a payment method and load credits. If you encounter any issues, you can contact OpenAI (https://help.openai.com) for support.
For more information, you can refer to the OpenAI rate limits and usage tiers guide (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits).

There are different tiers on the openAI platform, I was expecting the very first tier to work, but it doesn't seem like it does. Another user is having this issue too.
