Exception in thread “main” com.openai.errors.UnexpectedStatusCodeException: 402: Insufficient credits. Add more using [Sign In | OpenRouter](https://openrouter.ai/settings/credits)

I believe i can’t do much about it. I have a few questions.

1. are openai credits connected to my github?
2. Do they refresh after some time interval?
3. What is it that y’all did when this error occured?
