OpenAI API Error: Request failed with status code 429 - Too Many Requests

[luukvhoudt]

After installing and running aicommits a few times in a subdirectory, the command returns:

▲ No staged changes found. Make sure there are changes and run `git add .`

However, I did change directory to the repository root and ran aicommits it returned:

▲ Generating your AI commit message...

▲ OpenAI API Error: Request failed with status code 429 - Too Many Requests

How is this possible? I never used the OpenAI API before, only the chat version. Does the aicommits command also sent a request to the OpenAI API if there is nothing staged? It would help a lot if there was some kind of verbosity flag to get a better understanding of what is happening.

Now aicommits always runs, no matter what you type behind it. This most likely caused me to almost brute force the OpenAI API.

Besides the problem I encountered this issue also proposes 3 feature requests:

• Add the ability to run aicommits anywhere in the repository (like git status).
• Add the some kind of verbosity flag.
• Change the ease of executing the main command, e.g. error on unknown input (like aicommits --help).

@luukvhoudt Due to a lack of attention, I did not configure a payment method in OpenAI and for this reason I was receiving the error 429, I had no "balance". After defining a payment method, the CLI started to work perfectly.

Thank you @ribeiroevandro! That's correct, you likely need to add a payment method to OpenAI.

@luukvhoudt We're planning on adding a --help command. Also, what do you mean by the ability to add aicommits anywhere in the repo?

Closing this for now since it was answered above

@Nutlope here are some steps to reproduce what I encountered:

1. Create a git repo
2. Create a file and a dir
3. Change the file contents
4. Cd to the dir
5. Run aicommits
   > No changes are detected.
6. Run git status
   > file in repo root is detected as a change.

The feature request was to have aicommits work the similar to git status for this func in particular.
