Im getting this error when running openai 4o mini columns
This error is likely due to your OpenAI API key not meeting the required tier for ChatGPT columns. You need 30,000 TPM (tokens per minute) for content generation columns. [1]
First, check your OpenAI API usage tier at https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits to see if you meet the requirements. If you're on a free plan or tier 1, you'll need to upgrade to at least tier 2.
Also verify your API key is correct at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys and update it in Clay if needed.
