A name unavailable token used up my credit

Hey @Baixuan_N, that’s concerning, especially if you don’t recognize the token/key shown. I agree with @LarisaHaster’s suggestion to treat it carefully for now.

I’d start by rotating your API keys, deleting anything unfamiliar, and reviewing usage across every org/project you have access to. Also double-check that keys aren’t sitting in client-side code, public repos, shared files, or screenshots.

For further clarification, you can visit these helpful articles shared by @LarisaHaster:

  • How can I report fraud or suspicious activity?
  • Unauthorized ChatGPT or API Credit Purchase Charges

For the credit usage showing as “Name unavailable,” please reach out to support@openai.com with the screenshot, org/project IDs, date range, key label, and token/credit amount.If you have already reached out, please share the Case ID so I can take a look.
