ok now i see an error related to free limit exceeded. I thought that adding my payment method will charge my card and will unlock those limits ?

I checked all permissions, everything is ok. I tried to generate another token, same error with “Payment required”. I don’t know what’s going on…

Hi Megan @meganariley thank you! The account I am using has a PRO subscription which is why I found the errors strange.

@meganariley I have added my business account to my payment methods and I cannot access the inference API due to this error: You have exceeded your monthly included credits for Inference Providers. Subscribe to PRO to get 20x more monthly included credits.
I assume my account change is taking a moment to propagate? Can I just check that by adding a valid payment method I can actually access the Inference API endpoint beyond the monthly free limit?
