Can anyone give an idea  of approximate monthly cost towards using the ChatGPT API. Assuming a basic  service/app like say "Gift Recommendation" with around 100 to 500  queries every day ?

Hi Friend, this depends on how many token you are using, for example, if you are using 100 tokens for each request, it means 500*100 = 50000 Tokens.

1000 Tokens on Gpt-3.5 costs around $0.002 

check pricing here: https://openai.com/pricing

Hello Hasan, this is fantastic information, and I appreciate you sharing it. Just to clarify, when developing an API that incorporates AI, it's necessary to use a personal ChatGPT API key from OpenAI, right? My concern is about the potential for unanticipated usage, leading to significant charges from OpenAI. Do you have any suggestions for mitigating this risk?

@oscar-sosa you can set a limit on the spend. Also, depending on the service you can request that someone enter their own API key for you to use.

@oscar-sosa as @ssadvisor mentioned, you can set limits, and monitor your usage in your dashboard.

and based on your app structure, you can use your own key or make users enter their own keys.

Thanks @ssadvisor

That's error 429 according to openAI, they state:

Cause: You have run out of credits or hit your maximum monthly spend.
Solution: Buy more credits or learn how to increase your limits.

@naveedbaig1 why do you shout? Why do you need a video when you can just read this.
