Meet "Error code 429 ..." in course "Building Your Own Database Agent"


Not sure if this is just me, or maybe the site.

you are doing the course first time or revisiting the page again?

Doing the course first time. But in order to run the code more conveniently, I opened a secondary window: 1 for video watching, 1 for code. Otherwise both are too small.
Could this be the reason?

this error is due to exceeding the usuage limit for open ai api keys, with try with different email address or pay a minimal at openai, or use next month again

Don’t get it. I am using exactly the notebook within the course "Building Your Own Database Agent”, not in my notebook locally, so I think the account I am using is officially provided (by configured env variables).
So I am reporting this, because I guess there is something wrong with the account which was provided to support the lab within this course.

@mubsi, can you please have a look into learner’s query

Hi @mic_hua,

As Deepti mentioned, you have exceeded your quota for using the OpenAI key for this month.

On the platform, due to various reasons, learners don’t get to have “unlimited” access to make the API calls, and it seems like you have reached your limit.

You’d have to wait 30 days for it to be reset.

Best,
Mubsi

”you have exceeded your quota for using the OpenAI key for this month.“ Here, the quota refers to a specific number of tokens (for example), related to my deeplearning account? Does this mean, if someone is taking more courses on deep learning, which requires open ai API access, he is more likely to use up the quota?

Hi @mic_hua,

Each learner is assigned equal quota of their own. It does not depend on usage of other people but of your own.

OK. Got you. That’s what I understand from your previous explanation.
Although this still seems quite odd, because I was only doing the exercise inside the course, but suddenly run out of quota ……
Anyway, it’s not a big problem.

Thanks for your explanation.
