ERROR retrieving initial tasks array. Make sure your API key is not the free tier, make your goal more clear, or revise your goal such that it is within our model's policies to run. Shutting Down.

I set up an API. I am so to speak the free tier but I still have the free credits?

What am i Doing wrong?

I have paid and I'm getting the same error - ERROR retrieving initial tasks array. Make sure your API key is not the free tier, make your goal more clear, or revise your goal such that it is within our model's policies to run. Shutting Down.

Created #162 to help with key validation, this seems to be a common confusion.

Have you insured to include the "sk-" at the beginning of the key?

Dear Support Team,

I have recently encountered a recurring error message that seems to be a common issue among users. Despite having both a paid ChatGPT Plus account and a paid OpenAI API account, which has granted me access to an API key, I am still experiencing this problem.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible. Your prompt support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely, Dominick

[savethehousemouse]

using Codespace and used brandspanking new api key. Same result

seems to be related to the chatgpt4, chatgpt 3.5 turbo is working, well appears to be.

installed locally and it works on 3.5 with key.

Hey folks, closing now because we've added validation, updated messaging, and provided an FAQ for common API key issues.
