How do I handle running out of credits in Python?

How-toUpdated
import openai

try:
    r = client.chat.completions.create(model="supercosmos-flash", messages=msgs)
except openai.APIStatusError as e:
    if e.status_code == 402:
        notify_team("Clatter Labs credits are used up - top up in Console › Billing › Credits")
        raise SystemExit(1)
    raise

Don't retry a 402: it fails until credits are added. Better still, check your balance ahead of time (GET /v1/account on the Agent API with an account:read key) and top up before it reaches zero.

Good to know#

  • If calls fail unexpectedly, check status.clatterlabs.com before debugging further.
  • Every response has an X-Request-Id; log it so a request can be found later. Why log it
  • Your key's account is responsible for your end users' text under the Abuse policy. What it means for apps
