Hi @Fridericusrexx The error message suggests that you have exceeded OpenAI's rate limit, which is only 3 requests per minute. You will have to set up a paid plan to continue using this tool. Sorry

See: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits/overview

I believe I have GPT4 api access (paid $20/month for chatGPT4), but still get no access issue. Is there anything I missed or incorrect?

Thank you so much for providing this great tool!

Hi @JasJia I know this is confusing but ChatGPT Plus subscription is different from GPT-4 API access. You may need to set up API billing information if you haven't done so: https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview

Thank you so much for your clarification! I guess I need to pay API later.
