Switching to New ChatGPT API Key: Rate Limit Issues Explained

Avatar of Ross R.Ross R.

I am switching over to a new chatGPT API key, but I get the following: The rate limits associated with your OpenAI API key are too low to run this action with the selected model. See "Increasing your limits" here. As far as I can make out I need to be on Tier 2 Chat GPT API plan, but I need to use $50 USD of API access to get there. Clay is only platform I use the ChatGPT API for and its not letting me use the API to spend the money to get to Tier 2. Am I missing something or do I need to find a way to burn $50 bucks on the API before I can use it with Clay?

    To upgrade to Tier 2 ChatGPT API access for use with Clay, you'll need to increase your usage with OpenAI directly. Here's what you can do: 1. Check your current usage tier at https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits 2. Upgrade your OpenAI API key usage to Tier 2 by following the instructions here: https://community.openai.com/t/how-to-move-up-in-usage-tiers/677788 You don't need to spend the $50 through Clay. You can use OpenAI's API for other projects to reach the required usage. Remember, when you use your own API key in Clay, you won't be charged Clay credits for ChatGPT usage.

    are there any API calls in Clay that do not need to be on tier 2 GPT so I can get my usage up?

    Yes, there are API calls in Clay that don't require Tier 2 GPT access. You can use Clay's HTTP API feature to connect to various third-party services without needing a specific GPT tier. This allows you to make API calls and increase your usage. Additionally, when you use your own API key in Clay for services like ChatGPT, you won't be charged Clay credits. If you need more assistance with API usage or reaching the required threshold, please request to talk to a person in this chat.

    Yes, you can use direct calls to ChatGPT's API with a Tier 1 key to increase your usage. Try using the "ChatGPT: Generate text" or "ChatGPT: Generate text (legacy)" actions in Clay. These actions allow you to send queries to ChatGPT using Clay inputs as prompts. By using these features, you can increase your API usage without needing Tier 2 access initially. If you need more guidance on using these actions or reaching the required threshold, please request to talk to a person in this chat.
