Exceeded quote plan for ChatGPT, no idea why

Describe the problem/error/question

Hi, I have ran out of free n8n credit for AI model and it was not expected after just 3 days of starting to learn automation while following a course. I use OpenAI as the model, so I went to my account and created an API key to connect it to n8n and thought everything would work alright (or even better) — I tested my workflow for a simple telegram bot using AI agent, and I started getting the error down below. I’m using ChatGPT GO.

@Mazen_Hassan

Did you top-up credit for your API key?

5

Umm, no, I only copied the key following the guidelines on n8n. @kjooleng

If your credit balance is $0, it will likely not run.
Top it up first

Sorry for needing some extra guidance, I’m new to this. I don’t see where to top up the credits inside n8n.

Also I’m on a 14-day trial period if that has any relevance to this.

You need to do it on the OpenAI platform
