How to avoid openai.error.RateLimitError

[lotruheawea]

Hi,
I attempted to create a docstring for a simple sum function and got

Received response 'workspace/executeCommand - (6)' in 1028ms. Request failed: openai.error.RateLimitError: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors. (-32602).

I checked my account details and I am on tier 1 with enough quota, I think. Is there any means to check which limit is hit and some options to avoid it? Thank you!

Hi, @lotruheawea ! Thanks for your feedback.
Please pay attention to your balance. It should be above zero.

If so, then:

• Does a repeat request a minute later also fail with this error?
• Do you use your API key in other scenarios? Is everything okay there?
