I created an open ai account, paid, waited 7 days and it never went up to Tier 2. I tried to contact support, and got this reply:
Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to us. Based on the information provided, it looks like your payment of $60 was successfully processed on October 3, 2024, and your account is currently in Trust Tier 1. Trust Tiers are determined not only by payment history but also by factors such as usage patterns and compliance with our policies. If you're looking to advance to the next Trust Tier to increase your limits or access additional features, here are a few steps you can consider: Continue Using the API: Regular and compliant use of the API can help demonstrate your account's reliability and potential need for higher usage limits. Ensure Compliance: Make sure your use of the API complies with OpenAI's policies and guidelines. Accounts that follow our guidelines are more likely to be considered for higher Trust Tiers. Review Your Usage: If your current usage is close to your limits and you have a clear need for higher limits, this can be a factor in advancing to the next tier. If you believe your account should be considered for a higher Trust Tier based on your usage, needs, or other factors, you can directly request a review of your limits from the Usage Limits page in your account settings. There, you'll find an option to "Need help?" where you can submit a request for a higher limit. Our team will review your account's usage and history to determine if an adjustment can be made. Please note that Trust Tier adjustments are made at the discretion of OpenAI, based on a comprehensive review of account activity and adherence to our policies. If you have any specific questions about your account or need further assistance, feel free to let us know! Best,
OpenAI Team
Also, there doesn't seem to be any "Need help?" option on the the Usage Limits page to submit a request for a higher limit. Not sure what to do.
