Thanks for raising this @cfisher-scottlogic! We were also under the impression that free accounts some limited amount of use.
After further investigation, I've found that when you create an OpenAI account (whether to access the API or use their own GPT interface), you are given some number of free credits. For me it was $5;. However that credit expires after an allotted time, which is what I expect has happened to you. I do not know if new accounts still get free credit on creation (will find out)
Adding to the readme is a good shout
Readme updated :) #888
Bug report
Description
I received the above error when attempting to run the app locally for the first time.
Reproduction steps
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
npm run build
npm start
Expected behaviour
The application to launch.
Additional context
I mistakenly assumed OpenAI had a free tier of API usage. This doesn't appear to be the case, which would make sense as it's an expensive tool to use. But this restriction places an unintentional (and unavoidable) paywall on running and using SpyLogic, so I think a disclaimer in the
README
would be useful (even though this disclaimer might be obvious to some).
