Troubleshooting Claygent API Rate Limit Issues for Research Tasks

·
·

I am trying to use my own open API key to do basic research with claygent and I keep getting an error that says my rate limits are too low to use my own api key - how do I get around this? I’ve already bought $100 in open api credits and only spending .001 with gpt 4-mini so I’m not sure what to do here Need to research about 2000 records and can’t spend all my clay credits on just that. I didn’t have an issue a few weeks ago using it but am just coming back to clay for my clients. Would love any help or advice

    To resolve the rate limit error with your OpenAI API key, you'll need to ensure your API usage tier meets Clay's requirements. For reliable use, you need:• 30,000 TPM (tokens per minute) for ChatGPT columns• 450,000 TPM for ClaygentIf you're currently on a free plan or tier 1, you'll need to upgrade to a tier 2 API key. You can check your current limits and usage at:** Usage ** Limits * Usage TiersAlternatively, you can use our Clay-managed API key, which is accessible for all models through the enrichment panel under Model > Account.

    Yes I am aware. My question is how are people with a newer open api account doing this? There is no way to pay to upgrade my usage tier. It says I just have to upgrade run a certain amount of requests. Which is what I’m trying to do.

    It was working a few weeks ago just fine so I’m confused what changed

    To use OpenAI with Clay, you need specific token per minute (TPM) requirements:** 30,000 TPM for ChatGPT columns ** 450,000 TPM for ClaygentIf your API key was working before but isn't now, it's likely because you're on a free plan or tier 1, which doesn't meet these requirements. To resolve this, you'll need to upgrade to a tier 2 API key.You can check your current usage and limits at:** Usage ** Limits * Usage TiersTo upgrade your tier, follow the instructions here: How to Move Up in Usage Tiers.
