Describe your issue.

I've encountered a specific issue where AutoGPT incorrectly interprets the "429 Too Many Requests" error. This problem arises not from exceeding the rate limits, as the error message suggests, but from an insufficient API quota on my OpenAI account. The confusion stems from OpenAI's recent changes to their API billing method, which now requires users to prepay before accessing the service. Consequently, when the API quota is depleted, attempts to use AutoGPT result in a "429 Too Many Requests" error, misleadingly indicating rate limiting.

After funding my OpenAI account, AutoGPT resumed normal operation, confirming the issue's nature. This misinterpretation could be addressed by implementing a more precise error handling mechanism within AutoGPT that differentiates between rate limiting and quota insufficiencies, guiding users towards the appropriate resolution.
