Billing exceeded and error: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details

Welcome to the community!
The relevant OpenAI Help Center article says usage-limit errors can be related to the monthly budget/usage limits:
So I’d check these first, if you already haven’t:
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/billing/overview
https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/limits
Also make sure the API key belongs to the same project/organization where the funds were added. If the balance/top-up still has not propagated and production is blocked, Support may need to check the billing/quota state directly. You can contact them through Help.
