OpenAI quota exceeded incorrect error message.

Feature Request

Hello, I’m getting the following message “Sorry OpenAI quota exceeded, you make need to add funds to your OpenAI account”.

I’ve paid for the lifetime licence and used my own OpenAI key which I have confirmed is working and have confirmed I have definitely not exceeded my funds.

Also I didn’t want to file this as Feature Request but it’s not letting me change that.

    Hey, sorry to hear that! Have you tested you’re getting a rate limit error outside of Substage? For example, you could paste this into the Terminal, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your API key:

    curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4.1-mini",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Is this working?"}
    ]
  }'
