Has OpenAI Discontinued the $120 Promotional Credit for API Accounts?

Until recently, creating new API accounts involved a $5 payment that granted $120 in promotional credits. However, with new accounts, once the initial $5 credit is used up, the balance simply shows as depleted and does not automatically transition to $120. In some cases, an additional $5 credit is given, but it still does not upgrade to $120 when the initial balance runs out.
Is it possible that the $120 promotional credit program has ended?

Based on the official documentation, there isn’t any public reference to a $120 promotional credit offer or an automatic transition from a $5 payment to additional credits once that initial balance is used up. The documentation covers usage tiers, billing setup, and rate limits, but it doesn’t include details about promotional credit programs.
If you’re noticing changes in the promotional credits you receive, it could be that OpenAI has updated its credit offering or policies. For the most accurate and up-to-date details on promotional credits and billing policies, it’s best to review your billing information in your account settings or contact OpenAI support directly.
