Account stuck on Free Tier limits (200k TPD) despite linked card

Hello, I added my credit card and have the $5 trial credit appearing in my billing dashboard. However, my API requests are still returning headers for the Free Tier (200,000 TPD limit) instead of the Developer Tier.

I’ve tried making new API keys, waiting 24hrs and trying several models, and still hitting their respective free tier limits. Just wondering how I can fix this, and if need be add prepaid credits so I can keep using the service. I had a friend I recommended the service to in my excitement and he is running into the same issue unfortunately.

@msarnette Have you made an API call since adding your credit card? At least one api call needs to be made after adding the credit card to trigger the payment tier switch. Going through the playground will not trigger this switch.

Yes, I added it yesterday and have continued to try using Cline and other such tools with API calls. I’ve made new API keys as well to see if that’d get it to refresh with no luck.

@msarnette I confirmed things look proper in Stripe. I will get a bug filed on this ASAP

I do appreciate it, was very much looking forward to using it a lot!

Hi, I am facing the same issue as well. It would be really great if this can be fixed.

Still holding out hope, I haven’t heard anything in a while though.

@msarnette I apologize for this, the fix was supposed to be in a week ago. Please try the api again. I want to see if they toggle from developer back to free.

@fasith35 you do not have a v payment card entered so you will not be able to use the developer tier.

I have the same problem, @Coby Would it be possible to know when the fix will be available? We would like to send this implementation into production as soon as possible. T

@sunhowie and @marco I have adjusted you manually for now . We are in the process of migrating our billing code and the new release should tend to a lot of this. I do not have the date for the new billing code release just yet .

Sorry for the inconvenience .
