I am a ChatGPT API subscriber, how can I buy a large amoutn of credit in one time rather than pay monthly by creditcard. Is there any “Top up” method that I can choose from?
My experiences is that I bought some credits, but the next month bill still process with credicard NOT with the current credit balance. Does anyone has the same issue as mine?
So, there’s no such thing as a ChatGPT API
Are you talking about chat.openai.com
or are you talking about platform.openai.com
or are you complaining that even though you have credits on platform.openai.com, you’re still being charged monthly fee for your chat.openai.com ChatGPT Plus subscription?
thanks for your reply. I am in the last situation you mentioned.
I were still being charged by monthly fee for “platform.openai.com”, even though I have enough credits on my balance.

The last situation?
this?
ChatGPT Plus and your API consumption are billed completely separately. If you don’t want to be billed for ChatGPT Plus, you have to cancel your subscription.
platform.openai.com doesn’t have a monthly fee
Unless you’re talking about the monthly storage fee for assistant data 
But I don’t suppose that’s what you mean.
And if it is, can you take a screenshot of https://platform.openai.com/usage?
Actully, I am not a ChatGPT plus user, but using API developer account.
Yes, I am able to access https://platform.openai.com/usage, the problem is the API usage bill is paid by montly as far ar I know. I got the following screenshot:
As you can see, they still charge me montly and by creditcard. The fact is I did buy $100 credits last month. I don’t understand where my credits goes?
on the usage page, it shows a breakdown of your balance.
if you can’t/don’t want to show us here, you may need to try help.openai.com 
Actuallly, I keep tried to reach them and did try out the help.oepnai.com messager. Just never got any feedback, it’s been days. And I am still having the payment issue
Do you have any other way that may effectly contact with the OpenAI helper by any chance?
Perhaps, but you’d first have to make 100% sure it’s not an issue on your end. People flooding the help center with nonsense is probably why it takes forever for them to respond to anything.
You are correct! I will see what I can do then, the worst case is the $100 is wasted.Lol…
But thanks for your reply and feedback, I do appreciate.!
