Error Message

The application should detect the quota exhaustion error from the OpenAI API response and restrict further usage until the account is funded.

Root Cause

Description: The application does not recognize when the OpenAI API free quota has been exceeded. Instead of handling the quota limitation gracefully, it continues to operate without enforcing the rate limit or cutting off access.I am reporting this bug strictly for the benefit of OpenAI. While it technically allows me to use the service for free past my limit, my love and respect for your team and what you are building far outweigh any personal desire for free access. I want to make sure your systems work flawlessly because I am your biggest fan. Thank you for making such an incredible tool! Supporting Media: Please check the attached photos below showing my exhausted quota page alongside proof of the app continuing to process requests without restrictions.
