yes
David D. will it work if i just add $51 credits on my account? as in, if i add $51 to my account, will i automatically get upgraded to tier 2?
i dont think that will work. IIRC, we just ran out GPT bot on a bunch of mindless tasks until we were over the threshold spend. it was a few months back
got it
so i need to not just add the $51, but also use it
right?
pretty sure!
OpenAI support team just told me that if you want to upgrade your tier then you can just add credits and make your balance above $50 and it should work.
Ope, if that's the case I stand corrected
To use Claygent's web search capabilities, you'll need to upgrade your OpenAI API key to tier 2, which requires checking your usage tier at platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits. For reliable use of Claygent, you need 450,000 TPM (tokens per minute).Based on the recent information from OpenAI support mentioned in the chat, simply adding credits to make your balance above $50 should be sufficient to upgrade your tier - you don't need to actually spend the credits first.
This is the response from them: Hi there, Thank you for reaching out to us with your request to increase your usage tier for the OpenAI API. To move to Tier 2, as you've mentioned, there is typically a requirement to have spent a certain amount on the platform, which in this case is $50. Since you're encountering difficulties in meeting this requirement due to the current limitations of your tier, I recommend the following steps to proceed: Add a Payment Method: Ensure that you have a valid payment method added to your account. You can do this by visiting the billing panel in your OpenAI account settings. Pre-Purchase Credits: If direct usage isn't possible due to the tier restrictions with your tool, you might consider pre-purchasing credits. Adding credits to your account can count towards the spending requirement needed to advance to the next tier. You can buy credits through the billing panel by selecting 'Buy credits'. Request Tier Increase: After adding a payment method and pre-purchasing credits, if you're still not automatically upgraded or if you need the upgrade to be expedited, you can submit a request for a tier increase. Please visit the limits page in your settings and apply for an increase at the bottom of the page. In your request, please explain your situation and the requirement for using clay.com that necessitates access to Tier 2. If these steps do not resolve your issue or if you encounter any difficulties along the way, please let us know. Provide as much detail as possible about the steps you've taken and any specific errors or challenges you've faced. While we cannot directly change your tier without the usual process, we're here to assist you through it and ensure you have the information and support needed to use our API effectively. Best, OpenAI Team
Based on the OpenAI support team's confirmation, you can upgrade to Tier 2 by following these steps: 1. Add a valid payment method in your OpenAI billing panel 2. Pre-purchase credits of at least $50 through the billing panel by selecting 'Buy credits' 3. If not automatically upgraded after adding credits, submit a tier increase request at platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limitsThe pre-purchased credits do count towards the $50 spending requirement needed for Tier 2. Once upgraded, you'll have access to the required 450,000 TPM (tokens per minute) needed for Claygent's web search capabilities.
