You need a paid account in OpenAI, fixed for me

This

this comment says to create auto json file first

@dandaka did you sign up to chatgpt4 (plus) account also?

@dandaka did you sign up to chatgpt4 (plus) account also?

I don't believe a plus account would help as thats for chat and this uses API playground. Could test if gpt4 was the issue using --gpt3only

You need to create a paid account here https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview

I had ChatGPT plus, it does not help. Having paid API account solved the issue for me.

Thank you @dandaka it works for me too! Just upgraded to paid and created a new api key -- the old one created before upgrade didn't work some how.

Duplicate of #1189. @rfinley327 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.

please help the issue still isnt working

if you are using the Mac, there are two things you can look at. 1. Upgrade a payment method in OpenAI.com 2. Regenerate another API key and paste into the .env file. 3. use Command+ I to check if the template extension is properly erased.

create a auto-gpt.json inside root of project
