Hi @rare copper. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Yes, there are API usage limits even if you have credits in your account. OpenAI imposes rate limits on API usage, and these limits can vary depending on your usage tier. You can review your current usage limit in the limits (https://platform.openai.com/account/rate-limits) page in your account settings. If you want to increase your limits, you can apply for an increase at the bottom of the limits page.
In addition to rate limits, OpenAI also sets a default approved usage limit of $100 per month once you've entered your billing information. This quota limit will automatically increase as your usage on the platform increases and you move from one usage tier to another. If your usage exceeds a certain dollar amount, you can set a notification threshold through the usage limits page. Once the monthly budget is reached, any subsequent API requests will be rejected.
Please note that even if you have credits in your account, you will not be able to make API requests if you have not entered your billing information. If you're using a free trial account, you'll need to enter billing information and upgrade to a paid plan to use the API. If you're already on a paid plan and you've reached your usage limit, you may need to increase your monthly budget or advance to the next usage tier.
