OpenAI key — keeps showing 'invalid' or 'untested'

The OpenAI provider row in Settings → AI Models has three states that can confuse:

  • Green dot + "API key verified" — Test passed; you're good.
  • Yellow dot + "API key set (untested)" — a key is stored, but Jorv Builder hasn't tested it. Click Test to verify.
  • Red dot + "API key invalid — see error above" — Test ran and OpenAI rejected the key.

"Always shows untested"

The Test result is per-session. Jorv Builder doesn't auto-test on every open because it would burn API credits each time. Click Test once after adding the key and the green state persists for the session.

"Test fails with 401 Incorrect API key"

Your key is wrong, expired, or revoked.

  1. Go to platform.openai.com/api-keys.
  2. Verify the key is still listed and active.
  3. If unsure, generate a fresh key and replace it in Settings → AI Models → OpenAI → Change.
  4. Click Test again.

"Test fails with 429 Rate limit"

Your OpenAI account has hit a rate or spend limit. Open platform.openai.com/usage and check your billing.

"Test fails with network error"

Jorv Builder couldn't reach OpenAI's servers. Check your internet connection and any firewall / VPN that might be intercepting traffic to api.openai.com.
