FAQ & support

Frequent questions​

Does my OpenAI or Anthropic code work?​

Usually yes: change the base URL, key and model name. The differences are listed under Migration.

Which model for confidential data under § 203 StGB?​

A self-hosted model (openhippo/… or a hippo-… alias). Partner models are not intended for it. See Data, security, compliance.

Why do I get 403 on a partner model?​

Partner models unlock with your first top-up; the starting credit does not count. In a team, the model approval may also be missing. See Errors.

Why do I get 402?​

The balance is empty. Top up in the console, or as a team member ask your admin.

Why do I get 429?​

A monthly budget with a hard stop has been reached (key, account, member or company). See Budgets & limits.

How do I see my usage?​

In the console (7, 30 or 90 days) or via GET /v1/usage.

I lost my key.​

Keys are shown only once. Regenerate it in the console and replace it in your application.

How is VAT calculated?​

VAT is calculated at top-up, depending on country and tax status. See Prepaid & pricing.

Is there an SLA or a status page?​

For Hippo Token and Hippo Chat, the service level agreement in our legal documents applies. A status page has not been published yet. Questions: support@openhippo.io.

Are there rate limits (RPM/TPM)?​

Fixed RPM/TPM limits are currently not documented. For load planning, contact support. You can cap costs with budgets.
