I cannot run the first notebook, I also get the same error when running crew “result = crew.kickoff(inputs={“topic”: “Artificial Intelligence”})”:

Hi @doxa,

Are you running the notebook locally or on the platform?

Thanks,

I am running on the platform. This seems to be related to OpenAI API restrictions. I tried to put my own OpenAI key but had the same problem. I found a workaround which is to use another account on deeplearning.ai. This is bad because I can no more use my account.

Hi @doxa,

When using your own key, I’d recommend to run the notebook locally.

The platform has certain “checks” regarding the API hits, which is why you are not able to use your own key there.

Best,
Mubsi

I tried many times online without changing anything, letting default DL.AI default API key, but I always add this error. I then tried to use my own OpenAPI key to check if the error was caused by the provided key, it didn’t solve the problem. In The only solution is to use another account. It seems to me that deeplearning.ai has also openai usage checks based on users which can definitly block following a course once there is something wrong ?

Hi @doxa,

Yes, there’s a certain check. A learner is allocated a certain amount of credit for each month, once those expire, they cannot hit the API on the platform. There are 3 things you can do:

  1. You can wait for your quota to be refreshed (try again in a month)
  2. Or, run things locally with your own API key
  3. Or, as you already mentioned, create a new account.

It would be good to be able to top up this quota or at least have a view of it to avoid reaching it.

Thanks a lot for your help

The top up is something which happens every month, as for visualisation of it, that is something that may or may not happen. But I will pass it along to to the team.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I’m running locally with my own account–but I still get this problem. A quick look online shows there are many of us.
