I just create a new key and it's failing to run:

Hu...
Never seen this one before.
Let me know if it's still happening after a in a few minutes?

I think this one is all on OpenAI, nothing I can really do.

Everything appears to be fine:

I got The same Error

[dadhichi1]

similar issue , any solve ?

[gaktug]

Same issue with free account. API never used, but gives rate limit error.

I think this one is on openai part. Last week I encountered the same error using openai module with new key that never been used before.

I'm having the same issue on a ChatGPT+ account. The API I am using says "Never" on when it was last used, but I'm not sure how often that is updated.

[matts8008]

I found a solution. You need to add a billing credit card and then generate a new key, even if you have ChatGPT+

1. Add a credit card to your OpenAI Account https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview
2. Generate new key
3. Everything works

Can someone please tell me how to make my Powershell terminal look pretty like the demo video in the Readme?
I see codes like this

I've done all the things and still run into this error. I have two credit cards on file. I don't have access to gpt4 API yet, but I'm trying to use 3.5 only mode. Tried in it's own environment and without.

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

[silverjoshi]

facing the same issue. Don't free account keys work? Or do we need to add card even for free account and regenerate the API keys?

[silverjoshi]

Check this answer -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/75898717

So apparently, it's openai that's making it hard to access via api codes, I am not liking this.

I get same the error 'openai.error.RateLimitError' when I tried running a prompt using python, it's openai that's restricting the accesses with randomly updated terms, no fault of Auto-GPT
Don't think there is a way around this, apart from creating a new openai account with a different phone number and using that api key

Fuggit. I've tried everything. OpenAI claims ignorance to what is happening. Incredibly frustrating. I was onto something meaningful and important for the first time in as long as I can remember, now it's not even worth doing because my peers left me in the dust on it.

[PundirShivam]

Added payment . Fixed the problem. Apparently it is not working on free tier anymore, at least for me, even though its my first try. Kudos for those who got it working for free.

[gourcetools]

Can someone close this?

I have 3 cards on file.

[nainesh-khanjire]

not working for me, tried in replit ide same error continues

[JuroOravec]

Duplicate of #1189. @patrickelectric 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.
