Funding Your OpenAI Account for API Key Access and Tier Increases

How much money do I need to put on my Open AI account to now use my own API key? I used to be able to use it, but now I can't. Also, does anyone know how long it will take my usage tier to increase once I add the money.

To use your own OpenAI API key with Clay, you'll need to upgrade to a Tier 2 API key. The exact amount isn't specified, but you should ensure you have sufficient funds in your OpenAI account balance. To upgrade, reach out to OpenAI's support team through their website. The time it takes for your usage tier to increase isn't specified, but contacting support should help expedite the process. You can check your current usage and limits on OpenAI's platform. If you need more assistance, you can request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person" in this chat.

add $200 and increase that to Tier 4. Say you need to use the API with Clay. Usually you should get the request approved in 1-2 days.

When you are trying to update the Tier, it should ask to provide additional information, you can mention about Clay there.
