Quota Exceeded

[ErrorNoInternet]

Getting this when making a request:

HTTP 429

OpenAI API responded with:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details.",
        "type": "insufficient_quota",
        "param": null,
        "code": null
    }
}

Seems to be working again now!
It might happen again in a few hours though, I've seen this happen lots of times

Yes.. At current usage, the API costs $155.72 per day, and I am sadly not able to afford it.

Damn 😬 That's unfortunate

Also, I think someone is doing something? Or there's just a lot of users...

Listen, can't we implement using a large number of free chatgpt accounts, where 20 requests per hour are given, if I'm not mistaken, and make an array of them with a counter. In case of an error, just switch to the next account. It's an idea, just tell me, do you think it's possible?

Guess that means it requires large number of phone number since openai requires it

Yes, but it is quite feasible and will be free in the future

This is indeed similar to the current solution: https://github.com/ayaka14732/ChatGPTAPIFree/blob/8c6bcf2/src/index.js#L66

I have recharged it, and it will continue to work for a while. However, in the long run, the ultimate solution is for skilled individuals to deploy their own backend and share it among a small group of people.

The free API is not operational at the moment. The current cost for using the API is $155.72 per day, and it seems unfeasible to sustain the API service without a substantial donation.

My ultimate goal is to make ChatGPT more easily accessible to a wider audience, particularly those who lack technical expertise, and enable them to experience the benefits of technological advancement.

To achieve this, I propose developing small-scale API backends for sharing among a small group of people. These backends would be set up by a technically proficient person and then shared among their friends. On the freechatgpt.chat website, people can access the ChatGPT API using these API endpoints.

If many technically proficient people adopt this approach, more people will be able to access ChatGPT.

I'm thrilled to share that our free API has received a new lease on life, all thanks to the kindness and generosity of a fellow group member who sponsored our project with 5000 CNY (724 USD)! With this support, we can continue to provide our users with free access to ChatGPT.

To ensure that the API remains stable and secure, I've implemented rate limits through Google Cloud Armor. This will help prevent any abuse of the API, so everyone can continue to benefit from it.

The real magic happens when we all come together to support this project. We need your help to keep this project thriving. You can support us by sponsoring this project as well or, if you have the technical know-how, you can host your own API endpoint and share it with a small group of people.

Together, we can make sure that ChatGPT remains available to all those who need it. Thank you for being a part of our community!
