Question 1

What is the OPENAI *API charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

This charge is from OpenAI for usage of their API service. If you or someone in your household has been using OpenAI's API to build or test applications powered by models like GPT-4, this charge reflects your actual API consumption. The amount varies based on how many tokens or requests were processed during the billing period.

Question 2

Why does the OPENAI *API amount change every month?

Accepted Answer

OpenAI's API is billed based on usage, meaning the charge fluctuates depending on how many API calls were made and which AI models were used. There is no fixed monthly fee. Higher usage months will result in larger charges. You can review your detailed usage breakdown and billing history by logging into your account at platform.openai.com.

Question 3

How do I stop being charged for OPENAI *API?

Accepted Answer

To stop future OPENAI *API charges, you need to manage or cancel your API usage through your OpenAI account at platform.openai.com. From there you can set usage limits, remove your payment method, or close your account entirely. Simply deleting an app that uses the API may not stop charges if API keys are still active and being called.

Question 4

I don't remember signing up for OpenAI API — could this be fraud?

Accepted Answer

Before assuming fraud, consider whether anyone else with access to your accounts may have signed up for OpenAI API access at platform.openai.com, or whether you may have created an account to test an AI-powered tool or application. If you genuinely do not recognize the charge after checking, you should log in at platform.openai.com to see if an account exists under your email, and contact your bank to dispute the charge if no account is found.
