I added my Open AI key to a studio, but it now says I’m out of credits. Clearly it is not drawing on my key. How can I fix this as I’m getting “You’ve reached your usage limit, buy a product to continue using this tool.”

I just realized this has nothing to do with openAI. This is a setting in Pickaxe at a studio or user level. This used to be so easy in the beta version. I can’t find the settings here in the new [pickaxe.co](http://pickaxe.co).

I don’t think the old version is coming back, so it is better just to get familiar with the new one.

@welcome correct. You need to go in the studio settings under Access where you can set the limit for guests or create a product and set the limit for the product
