Why am I getting an "insufficient_quota" error and a 429 status code after exceeding my quota?

is this in an OpenAI step? This looks like an error from them.

Yes… I am sending a file to Open AI, where the file is in /tmp folder on PI

OpenAI is returning that message, it looks like you’re exceeding their quota

5

Just checked the Usage in Open AI, it doesn’t have a single request logged yet!

If you visit https://pipedream.com and look at the bottom left of the UI, you’ll see a section with Credits Used: https://pipedream.com/docs/limits/#daily-credits-limit . Can you take a screenshot of that?

Thanks. You’ll see that you haven’t used any Pipedream credits. We also don’t return 429s when you exceed quota, and that specific error message is from OpenAI.

Ohh… But in Open AI as well, I don’t see any issue in there!!

11

I can’t speak to how OpenAI surfaces this data, but this error is being returned by their API

12

I want send a audio file to Open AI and get it transcribed… and for such a small thing, I am stuck!

13

ok…

Thanks anyways. Will try my luck!

They have a great OpenAI Discord community and if you share your exact request / file size / other info I bet they’ll be able to help you identify why they’re returning a 429. I wish we could help more but I’m not familiar with why they’d rate limit you in this specific situation!

ok sure! Thnx a ton…
