Also worth checking: https://platform.openai.com/account/usage

Check firstly if your usage limits are being hit because if you're processing a lot of tokens

Have you exported your private keys? Fixed it for me!

same problem, not using api for anything else besides this app

i just fixed it. check your free usage if it 's expired. in this link : https://platform.openai.com/account/usage
if it s expired add a new billing card or create a new account.

Fixed: Even if you are gpt+ you need to add a card to get a working key. demo keys dont work.

I have noticed when I use OPENAI_API_KEY from one of my account it works but for other account it doesn't for some reason.

My suggestion would be try creating another account or/and new api keys.

This happened with me as well. I fixed by manually adding openai.organization=<my-org-id> in llm_utils.py. The rate limit error was coming because I had two organizations in my account and the API was somehow calling for the organization which doesn't have billing set.

Another option can be to update the default organization from here.

The .env file is missing OPENAI_ORGANIZATION_ID. Add that to your environment and it solves this problem. 👍

Duplicate of #1189. @AuroraHolding 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)

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