Make a request to `AI Gateway` endpoint 2. Receive `403 Forbidden` error ## What I’ve Tried * Re-added my card in billing information * Regenerated my API key * Tested a model in the playground, still prompts me to add a credit card even though one is already on file (see attached screenshot)  Issue persists after all attempts. ## Project Information * **Plan:** Hobby * **Service:** `AI Gateway` Would appreciate any guidance on resolving this. Thanks!
