@ahmeteid7 I encountered this issue as well. You don't have any free quota left to use the API. You also won't be able to call openai via terminal. You have to add $5 to your account and can use it after. Initially, all members were given a dollar amount to play with but it has expired. Also create a new openai API key after you do so and use that.
PS - ChatGPT will work but API calls will not.

I have the same problem.
How do you add $ to your account? I find no way to do this... I can only choose one of the non-free plans.
Also, what's the meaning of your PS? If I cannot use the API, then I cannot use this program, so what's the point of adding $5?
