"The model gpt4.1 does not work with your current plan or api key"

Describe the Bug

In the middle of a session 4.1 stops working and gives me a pop-up with the title above.

Looking at account logs it says “Errored, not charged”.
Multiple attempts failed. Rebooted, failed.

Account is up to date. Pro plan, usage based pricing enabled. Shows I haven’t reached my usage based limit yet. On 0.

Steps to Reproduce

Who knows.

Expected Behavior

Its not letting me prompt. I’m a fiend for the prompting.

Hi @paulmontreal thank you for the bug report.

There was earlier an OpenAI outage. Could you check if this issue is still happening?

[paulmontreal]

thanks for letting me know.
just looked at their status, its been patchy for 3 days, could explain the earlier issues I was having with it as well.

It’s currently letting me prompt again. Can’t test how well its actually performing though.
