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.
