I am creating OPENAI api key as you told us and saved in Scrimba environment variable, without using API key , it gives error "The 429 error (quota exceeded) means that you have used up your allowed OpenAI API credits or you have hit rate limits. "
Hey @Mridul, have you used this api key for any other things before? You can check on your open AI dashboard to see if you maxed our your credits or hit other limits.
No, I did not use anywhere, and one more question is that I am trying to deleted created environment variable from Scrimba environment but that delete button is not working.
Hm, okay. Could you try generating a new API key and see if that works?
Regarding the deletion, sorry about that, we’re aware of this and got a fix for it. Just waiting on the dev team to ship it out with one of our scheduled updates.
Hey @roku even I am facing the same issue. Do we have any solution on this yet? It seems that probably OpenAI has stopped giving free credits. Can you confirm from your end?
Hey @Yash, yeah unfortunately OpenAI stopped the free credits sometime ago so they require a small top up to use their API. We’re in progress of redoing these sections/courses to update people on this.
