Troubleshooting OpenAI Rate Limits Issues in Clay

Anyone familiar with OpenAI rate limits know how to get around this issue in Clay? I'm tier 1 so my rate limit for gpt4.1nano should be 500 RPM. Clay is not even letting me run one request, so I don't believe that im actually hitting my openai rate limit - it's flagging my api key as soon as it ingests it. Getting my rates to tier 2 might be a fix, but i need to spend $50 on openAIs API before i can get there, (was hoping clay was going to help me out). Any other suggestions?
