Despite adding my credit card on the Hobby plan, the error persists. Additionally, my $5 monthly free credit has not updated Gzc888 (@gzc888) · 2026-04-09 I had same issue Pauline P.

Kinda (@kindamunjavi-8939) · 2026-04-09 Good day, I’m encountering a **403 Forbidden** error when using `AI Gateway`. ## Current vs Expected Behavior * **Current:** Requests to `AI Gateway` return `403 Forbidden` * **Expected:** Requests should go through successfully ## Steps to Reproduce 1. 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! Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-04-09 Hi @kindamunjavi-8939, welcome to the Vercel Community! It seems like we're unable to verify the card you've added. Could you try with a different credit card? Kinda (@kindamunjavi-8939) · 2026-04-09 · ♥ 1 Hello, yes. I will do so. Thank you in advance.
