Openai api limit confusion with monthly reset
OpenAI Developer Community

Hi,
That is your monthly maximum budget. It shows how much of that budget you’ve used, and it resets every month, in this case in 16 days.
For example, here is mine.
But if you want to see how much you actually have left in your credit balance, go to Settings → Billing. There you can check your credit balance, billing history and change your usage limits.
Hopefully this clarifies it.
