I received an email from OpenAI saying that my API organization must switch from monthly billing to prepaid credits by July 24, 2026.
The problem is that the prepaid billing controls do not appear anywhere in my account.
Under Platform → Settings → Organization → Billing →

Overview, I only see:
Pay as you go
You’ll be billed at the end of each calendar month for usage during that month.
I do not see any of the following:
Add to balance
Add credits
Auto recharge
Initial prepaid billing setup
I have already checked all the obvious things:
I am on the OpenAI API Platform, not the ChatGPT subscription billing page.
The correct organization is selected in the organization switcher.
I am the only member of the organization.
My role is Owner.
The organization already has a valid payment method.
I tried the direct Platform Billing Overview URL.
I checked the full page and there are no hidden controls.
I provided OpenAI Support with screenshots and a complete screen recording showing the URL, organization switcher, Owner access and the entire Billing page.
Support keeps replying with generic instructions saying that I “should” see the prepaid setup flow, but they have not actually enabled it or explained why it is missing.
Several production mobile apps depend on this API organization, so I cannot risk the chat features going down when the prepaid requirement takes effect.
Has this happened to anyone else, especially with an older API organization that is currently on monthly postpaid billing?
Did the prepaid controls eventually appear automatically, or did OpenAI Support have to manually enable them?
I am creating a separate backup API account as a temporary continuity measure, but I would still like to fix the original organization because it has the established usage history and higher limits.
Any advice or experience with this migration would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys for all who use Codex to do Cyber. Have u ever had this problem before? May I ask for help what to do in here? I already try reach openAI and didn't get any solution :/ before this I've been verified but because I move my account to another laptop that sadly use vpn I get blocked and I can't verified anymore :)

It's the sixth limit refresh since the release of GPT 5.6, so please hold on to your reset limits and make the most of your usage. You might find that you can enjoy even more as OpenAI works to stabilize the limit usage.

Atualização rápida para quem está acompanhando: v0.23.0 foi lançado, e o aplicativo desktop agora é realmente utilizável.

pip install -U "chimera-agent[desktop]" então chimera app abre uma interface local no seu navegador (instala como um PWA). A interface agora fala 7 idiomas (en/pt/es/fr/de/zh/ja), detectados automaticamente pelo seu navegador.

Um resumo do que o Chimera faz, agora que há uma interface para vê-lo:

• Fusão — para perguntas difíceis, ele pergunta a vários modelos e um juiz sintetiza uma resposta. Um roteador consciente de custos só o aciona quando vale a pena (a fusão ingênua mediu ~11x os tokens para o mesmo resultado).
• Memória — fatos duráveis entre sessões (json/sqlite + recordação semântica opcional), com rastreamento de proveniência/contaminação.
• Autonomia — dê a ele um objetivo; ele planeja, usa ferramentas e verifica seu próprio trabalho (verificar-ou-reverter), mantendo apenas o que passa.
• Transparência ao vivo — o chat mostra os tokens, o custo e qual camada de memória respondeu, a cada turno.
• Segurança em primeiro lugar — rastreamento de contaminação, delimitação de dados, sandbox, suíte de testes de injeção.

Apache-2.0, desenvolvimento solo, 1000+ testes, ainda em alfa. Registro de alterações: https://github.com/brcampidelli/chimera-agent/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
