found this buried in the openai dashboard and honestly surprised more people don’t know about it
it’s called the data sharing program. go to your api dashboard, hit data controls, toggle on sharing. that’s it.
you get free tokens every single day. up to 2.5 million tokens daily on the lighter models like gpt-4o-mini, o3-mini, gpt-4.1-mini. for the heavier models it’s 250k tokens per day. resets daily.
the trade is your prompts and outputs can be used by openai to train their models. so don’t use it for client work or anything sensitive
but for side projects, learning, experiments… you’re basically getting free api access every day just for flipping a toggle
not a trial. not a promo. it’s an ongoing program and it just sits there unclaimed for most people
