Chatbot quota reached

I realize this has been reported before but just wondering if I am doing something wrong. I am trying out the Chatbot tutorial on the App Inventor website.

I signed up for a free plan on OpenAI and generated an API key, which I added to my Chatbot component. If I try to ask it a question, I keep getting a 404 error, that I have exceeded my current quota.

If I remove my API key and use MIT's default, I don't get an error. It works. But once I put my API key back in, I get the error.

I check my usage on my OpenAI dashboard and it is empty - no requests. I can sign in myself and ask it a question on their website, so I don't think I have exceeded a quota. I just asked it a simple question, so I don't think I have done anything excessive. Is it because i am on the free plan?

Did you configure a payment option in OpenAI? If you don't have any credits and it can't charge your card then you'll get the quota error (because the quota is effectively 0 for the account).

Yeah, that is the problem. I had trouble finding what was left on my credit but I finally managed to and I had used it up. Thanks Evan.
