Be aware that OpenAI API credits expire after a year. I've added $5 year ago expecting to use the API, but only consumed $.02 or something. The API started throwing out "Too many requests" HTTP error when I needed it again and ooops!.. there were nothing left. All credit has gone.
Wouldn't have expected that from a honest player.
Big thanks for the heads up, I had no idea about this.
It looks like I will not be able to get any prepaid money back [0] so I will be careful not to put any further money on it.
I guess I better start using some of the more expensive APIs to make it worth the $20 I prepaid.
