429 Error w/ Credit Available | OpenAI | Page 1

I am trying to use the OpenAI API for the first time, and have the following python script in MS Visual Studio:

import openai
import os

openai.api_key = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')

response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model='gpt-4o-mini', 
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Give me two flavors of pie"}],
    max_tokens = 300)
print(response)```

The code runs, but I get the following error:

```openai.RateLimitError: Error code: 429 - {'error': {'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.', 'type': 'insufficient_quota', 'param': None, 'code': 'insufficient_quota'}}```

This does not make sense because I have $15 of credit available. I have verified that the api key is correct, and restarting Visual Studio does not resolve the issue.

The account has Tier-1 limits - this is my first request on this account.
