I kept seeing developers search for a free OpenAI API key. The misleading part is simple: key creation, credits, billing, model access, and rate limits are separate.

"ChatGPT Plus includes API credits."
"No credit card means free API usage."
Two of those are functionally wrong. One is only true in the most useless sense.
