# API key issues (GPT for Sheets – Autosheet)

## I've entered my API key but it's not working

**Problem**: You have entered an API key in the Autosheet dashboard but you cannot use the key in the add-on.

> **Solution**
>
> Check the following:
>
> - **Plan:** API keys are available with legacy pay-as-you-go pricing and on the Business and Enterprise plans. They are not available on the Standard plan. [Compare plans.](https://autosheet.com/pricing)
> - **Key and model access:** Ask your space owner or an admin to [check the key in the dashboard](https://autosheet.com/docs/admin/ai-configuration/manage-api-keys#check-api-keys). If the provider reports an invalid key or a permission error, follow its instructions for the key and model you are using. Check that the model is [supported for your feature](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/models/ai-providers-and-models) and [enabled in your space](https://autosheet.com/docs/admin/ai-configuration/manage-models).
> - **Provider limits:** Check the provider's account for the billing or quota error shown. API keys use your provider account's [rate limits](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/models/rate-limits).
> - **Autosheet usage:** An API key does not remove Autosheet usage requirements. Check your remaining usage, credits, and applicable spending limits in the [dashboard](https://dashboard.autosheet.com/). For subscription spaces, extra-usage credits require an active subscription. See the [pricing FAQ](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/pricing/pricing-faq#do-i-need-credits-if-i-set-an-api-key-or-endpoint).
