  "textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nI’m facing an issue with OpenAI’s **autopay / auto-recharge** for API credits and wanted to check if others have experienced something similar.\n\nI have a credit card set up for autopay, and generally it works fine. However, when the **auto-recharge gets triggered multiple times within a short time window** , the payments start failing.\n\nTypical pattern:\n\n  * The first **2–3 auto-recharges work successfully**\n\n  * These usually happen **within 1–2 hours**\n\n  * After that, the **subsequent auto-recharge fails**\n\n  * At that point, I have to **manually recharge** , which **works perfectly with the same card**\n\n  * After the manual recharge, I need to **re-enable autopay again**\n\n\n\n\nThis has been happening **consistently for the past ~2 months**.\n\nA few additional details:\n\n  * The **same credit card works fine for manual payments**\n\n  * There are **no issues with the card limit or bank**\n\n  * The failure seems specifically related to **multiple auto-charges in quick succession**\n\n\n\n\nHas anyone else run into this issue?\nIf so, did you find a workaround or identify the cause?\n\nThanks!",
