Troubleshooting GPT for Word
This article addresses the most common problems that can be encountered while using GPT for Word. We'll provide fixes and guidance for troubleshooting everything from API key and free trial issues to cut responses and rate limits.
Problems
I bought a pack but my balance is empty
My packs have disappeared
My response is cut or incomplete
Problem: The response you get from GPT for Word seems truncated.
Models have a maximum token limit, which is the maximum total number of tokens that can be used in both the input and the response. This means models may not provide complete responses to long queries or when a large portion of text is selected as input. Check the token count for your input in GPT for Word sidebar.
To stay within the token limit, click on Clear chat to delete your chat history or break up your work into smaller parts. You can also select a model with a higher limit (context window).
I'm getting one-word responses
Problem: Whatever you ask, GPT for Word provides only one-word responses.
Click on Clear chat to delete your chat history. This deletes prior chat messages that can get in the way of your current request.

Go to Billing settings to check if you have remaining credits.
If you are using an OpenAI free trial account
- Option 1: Continue without an API key.
