4. The 24-digit code from the confirmation email I received is not working for the OpenAI API key. What do I do?

5. What should I do if I encounter issues setting up an account at OpenAI, such as “Sign up is unavailable at the moment” or “Too many signups from the same IP”?

If you’re experiencing issues setting up an OpenAI account, you can try signing up using a Google account as an alternative. If you still encounter problems due to multiple failed sign-up attempts, try connecting again later. You must create this OpenAI account to obtain the API key and use CotranslatorAI. However, please note that we do not have control over the OpenAI account setup process.


6. What should I do if I receive the following error message after installing CotranslatorAI with the API key from OpenAI? I have paid for a ChatGPT+ account and it is active right now.

This is due to having used up the free data provided during account setup or three months having passed since setting it up. To reactivate the account, you need to add a credit card to the account.

Keep in mind that ChatGPT+ is a separate account, accessed at chat.openai.com. For this API access for CotranslatorAI, you need an account at platform.openai.com. They are different accounts.
