Openai giving $50,000 in FREE API credits and it's hidden in your account settings 😳
most people have no idea this exists
what you get every single day:
- 250K tokens/day for GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.2 (powerful models)
- 2.5M tokens/day for GPT-5.1-Mini and GPT-5-Nano (lighter models)
- up to 10M tokens/day if you're on tier 3-5
not a one time lump sum, it resets daily
it's called the data sharing program and here's how it works:
> go to
platform.openai.com/settings…
> click data controls → sharing
> opt in to both options
> done, free daily tokens activate immediately
important note:
- your data gets used by openai for training and improvements
- don't use it for client work or anything sensitive
- need a positive account balance to activate
perfect for:
- learning and experimenting
- side projects and personal builds
- testing new models without paying
you need a positive account balance to activate it but after that it's free every day
save this and take free 50k credits before they close it
