Increasing Anthropic API Limits and Using OpenAI Keys Effortlessly

Petar R. · 2025-07-04T18:43:32.183Z

I'm getting the error that I need to raise the limits for Anthropic API in order to run just one row. I did a quick research and it seems only Tier 4 Anthropic accounts are supported by Clay. What about OpenAI? I want to use my API keys in order to save credits, but I want to know how to run this smoothly. Thanks!

You can use your own OpenAI API keys in Clay to save credits and avoid Anthropic tier limitations. Adding OpenAI API Keys: 1. Go to Profile picture > Settings > Connections section 2. Or when setting up an enrichment, click Account > Add Account OpenAI Requirements: ** Need 30,000 TPM for ChatGPT columns ** Need 450,000 TPM for Claygent ** Requires tier 2 API key minimum (free/tier 1 won't work) Benefits: ** Cuts costs by up to 90% ** Uses 0 Clay credits when running with your own API key ** 90% of Clay users input their own AI API keys Check your OpenAI usage tier at platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits and upgrade if needed.

No, OpenAI Tier 1 won't work with Clay. You need at least Tier 2. Requirements: ** ChatGPT columns: 30,000 TPM (works with any paid tier) ** Claygent: 450,000 TPM (requires Tier 2 or higher) Free tier or Tier 1 accounts don't meet these requirements. You'll need to upgrade to Tier 2 through OpenAI support.
