Steps to reproduce 🕹

Clone the Auto-GPT repository.
Install the required dependencies.
Run the script using the command: python scripts/main.py

Current behavior 😯

The script repeatedly shows "Error: API Rate Limit Reached. Waiting 10 seconds..." messages and does not seem to progress.

Expected behavior 🤔

The script should run without encountering API rate limit errors, or it should handle the rate limits gracefully and continue running after waiting.

This happens if you are on a free account with OpenAI (This is separate then ChatGPT Plus that you may have), you have to add your billing info and it will start working. I wish this was documented in the readme, I think all of us went through this.

I'm not on the a free account I have ChapGPT Plus

I understand what you saying now @skynet01 I had to do some research. Thanks

@ibaleve Here is the official docs on rate limit from OpenAI

Can we close this issue?

Upgraded on a GPT4 plan, went ahead and re generated my keys. Added my key but I am still running upon the same issue. am I missing some steps or something ?

ok found it,
you need to go to your account in openai.com and then you can see that you are still on a free account, apparently its separate @dablurr

Duplicate of #1189. @ibaleve would you close this one issue if it indeed is the same thing?

(I had this issue too - It's that we haven't opted into "paid account" on OpenAI's billing page. The auto-gpt.json is a red herring - it's a last messag we see, but it's unrelated to the API limit reached, the script can work without the auto-gpt.json)

I'm making an MR as we speak to update the README section on OpenAI's API key, to make this clear.

1. upgrade to a paid account: https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview
2. ChatGPT+ != paid account.
3. add a payment method: https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/payment-methods (optional) set my usage limits: https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/limits
4. create a new API key: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys (old API key did not work, i guess it was not update with my payment information automatically)
5. replace the value for the autogpt/.env files's OPENAI_API_KEY.

Closing issue.
