PRACTICAL GUIDE
A usage limit or a service incident?
Account allowance and service availability are separate. Check your account notice and the official status page.
Check both signals separately
- Check the product error and account usage: is it a window limit, authentication issue or failed request? An error alone does not establish zero allowance.
- Open status.openai.com and check affected products, timing and progress. This site's reset records do not monitor service incidents.
- Service recovery does not establish quota recovery. A public reset or compensation applies only to its stated scope.
- If neither signal explains the issue, record the error, client version and time zone and contact official support. Remove sensitive information from screenshots.
