Not Enough Credits

Use this page when a request fails because the API key does not have enough remaining usage credits.

Symptoms​

You may see:

  • 429 Too Many Requests
  • not_enough_credits
  • Not enough token credits remaining for this request
  • A response showing token_limit, tokens_used, or remaining_credits

Likely Causes​

Common causes include:

  • The current plan cycle has used most or all credits.
  • The request is too large for the remaining credits.
  • A file upload contains more text than expected.
  • The app is using a key tied to a lower-limit plan.

How to Check​

  1. Open Dashboard Overview.
  2. Check remaining tokens or usage credits.
  3. Open Managing Subscriptions.
  4. Confirm the active plan and remaining quota.
  5. If using a file, test with a smaller file to confirm the issue is size-related.

How to Fix​

  • Reduce the amount of text in the request.
  • Split large files into smaller requests where appropriate.
  • Wait for the next renewal cycle.
  • Upgrade or change plans if you need more usage.
  • Contact support for custom limits.
