dall-e-3 free tier 429 too many request limit reached

Confirm this is a Node library issue and not an underlying OpenAI API issue

• This is an issue with the Node library

Describe the bug

Hello everyone,

I'm using the OpenAI library obtained from npm in my Next.js project. When I make a call to generate an image using the dall-e-3 model, unfortunately, I always receive a response with a 429 status code, indicating that I've reached the call limit. Strangely, I haven't even made a single call yet, and the documentation suggests that there should be one call per minute.

I've also tried making the call directly without using the library, but I get the same result. I've read that some people have resolved this issue by upgrading to higher-tier plans.

Could someone please let me know if there's a solution to this problem while still using the free tier?

To Reproduce

use openai npm library
try generate image with dall-e-3 model

or make a http call with axios, or postman with dall-e-3 model
