Usage Tier upgrade from 1 to 2 for Open AI API

You don’t have to actually make any “usage”.

You just have to wait for more than seven days after the first payment before you’d make another payment in order for the recalculation only made at the time of payment would elevate you.

Then it is the total that you have paid to OpenAI being considered.

The “automatic” part is bad documentation. A tier re-evaluation only happens at the time of a new payment.
