Question about API keys

I got this response in a Pickaxe when I deployed it in an online course and tried to use it.

429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/chat/completions

It had been working fine when it was using OpenAI and now is not working now that I switched to Gemini. Any idea why?

@wlowe61 It happens when you send too many API requests in a given amount of time — essentially, you have been rate limited by the server.

Thanks very much and I think this was also related to me not setting up my billing for more API calls correctly.
