Search isn't working for me

It's been down for a while; not sure what's going on but I put in a search string and the little circle indicator just spins forever. Presumably there is no response from whatever backend is supposed to respond. Don't know enough about web development to make a sensible bug report.

Looks like the OpenAI quota is being exceeded:

OpenAI API error: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.

is the error I get in my console

I'm surprised (yet not surprised) that OpenAI is used. There's no feature that obviously (to me) needs an LLM here.

As far as I can tell it's only used for extracting dates. I'd expect this to be something done as preprocessing during web crawl rather than on demand, but I suppose if you insist on using chatgpt (and so paying for each date parsed) it would be cheaper to do it when presenting results. The volume of pages touched by searches is probably comparatively lower, this being a niche search engine.
