The ChatGPT Plus subscription is different from the OpenAI API paid account. They are billed separately.
To use TypingMind with your paid API key, you will need to have an OpenAI API paid account, which can be set up at https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview
Step 1: Create an OpenAI account
If you don't already have an OpenAI account, first you need to go to https://platform.openai.com/ and click Sign Up.
Step 2: Set up Prepaid billing
After signing up, you will need to top up your credit to use the API key:
- Go to your billing overview in your account settings
- Click "Add payment details" and enter your payment details
- Choose the initial amount of credits you want to purchase. The minimum purchase is $5.
You can enable the option Automatic recharge so OpenAI can charge you automatically once your credit balance is lower than a specific threshold to keep your workflow going without any interruption.
- Confirm and purchase your initial amount of credits.

After successfully setting up your paid account:
- Switch to Dashboard tab → Click on API keys or follow this link: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys to get your API keys
