Troubleshooting OpenAI API Key Issues in Clay Community

·
·

Hi Clay community, I'm trying to use my OpenAI API key in Clay, but I keep getting this error:

"The rate limits associated with this OpenAI API key are insufficient for this field..."

Here’s my API details:

  • I’ve purchased credits and am on Tier 1 with OpenAI.

  • I’m using the o4-mini model, which supports 1,000 RPM and 100,000 TPM even at Tier 1.

  • I’ve tested the key outside Clay with 100+ successful requests per minute, no rate limit errors.

Can you help me resolve this? Is Clay defaulting to GPT-4 limits, or is there a way to force o4-mini usage? Thanks,

    kushagra Hey, I want to upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2 for the OpenAI API. Is a top-up of $50 sufficient for this, or do I need to spend $50?
