Rate Limit Error

Short Course Q&A ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
1

on running the prompt i got rate limit error.

2

Iā€™m also getting same error. Are you able to fix this?

3

Can you please give some advice to understand and avoid Rate Limit Errors?

The rate limit error occurs because ChatGPT has a limit of responses by minute (3 by minute), so in order to fix it you need to paid for the ā€œno limit versionā€ or, as i fixed:
ā€œimport timeā€ in your code
then each time you need a response add a
ā€œtime.sleep(20)ā€ where 20 is the time in second you will wait before asking ia to bring a response.
this way, yes, you get a little bored waiting but you donĀ“t have to execute example by example or pay nothing.

Example:

import openai
import os
import time

from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv

_ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv())

openai.api_key = "APIKEY"


def get_completion(prompt, model="gpt-3.5-turbo"):
    messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model=model,
        messages=messages,
        temperature=0,  # this is the degree of randomness of the model's output
    )
    return response.choices[0].message["content"]


prompt = f"""
Translate the following English text to Spanish: \ 
```Hi, I would like to order a blender```
"""

response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

prompt = f"""
Tell me which language this is: 
```Combien coƻte le lampadaire?```
"""
time.sleep(20)
response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

prompt = f"""
Translate the following  text to French and Spanish
and English pirate: \
```I want to order a basketball```
"""
time.sleep(20)
response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)

prompt = f"""
Translate the following text to Spanish in both the \
formal and informal forms: 
'Would you like to order a pillow?'
"""
time.sleep(20)
response = get_completion(prompt)
print(response)
