OpenAI API Rate Limit Error: Troubleshooting Tips and Solutions

I get this error when adding my own open ai API to clay : The rate limits associated with this OpenAI API key are insufficient for this field. Search "OpenAI Increase Limits" or visit this link https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits to increase your API key limits. I just bought 51$ worth of credits so don't know why it is saying this ?

The error you're seeing is not related to the amount of credits you purchased, but rather to your OpenAI API usage tier. For Clay to work properly, you need specific rate limits:** 30,000 TPM (tokens per minute) for ChatGPT columns ** 450,000 TPM for ClaygentIf you're on a free plan or tier 1, these requirements won't be met. To resolve this, you'll need to upgrade your OpenAI API key to a tier 2 API key. You can check your current limits at https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits.

That makes sense, thanks! Usage tier 1 Once the following criteria are met, you'll automatically move to the next tier:
At least $50 spent on the API since account creation.
At least 7 days passed since first successful payment.
I bought 51$ woth of credits earlier today, do I seriously have to wait 7 days before I can start using it ... ?

Yes, according to OpenAI's tier upgrade requirements, you'll need to wait 7 days after your first successful payment, even though you've already met the $50 spending requirement. To use Clay's features that require OpenAI integration (ChatGPT columns and Claygent), you'll need the tier 2 API key that provides sufficient rate limits (30,000 TPM for ChatGPT columns and 450,000 TPM for Claygent).
