Unable to complete OpenAI portion of tutorial: limit supposedly exceeded on brand new account

I'm going through the Convex tutorial, and got to the part where I'm supposed to implement the OpenAI integration. When going to the OpenAI site to create an account, I logged in using my personal Google account instead of creating an account manually. Before creating an API key I had to complete the account verification using my mobile phone number. After doing so, I got a popup with a message about how my phone number was supposedly tied to an existing account, and because of that my free trial was supposedly already used. This was my first time logging into OpenAI, though, so I have no idea how my phone could be tied to an existing account. I'm planning on reaching out to the OpenAI support folks to ask about this.

I went ahead and manually triggered the chat function I'd created from the tutorial, but I received a 429 error saying that I'd supposedly exceeded my current quota. :/ I even went back through the usage history in the OpenAI dashboard, but couldn't see any evidence of my supposed usage of the service, so I have no idea how I allegedly exceeded my quota.

Have any other users reported this issue? No sure if it's worth adding a comment to the tutorial about this possible problem, but I wanted to at least make someone aware of it.
