**Description**  
I have zoom business+ account, I am getting 429 rate limit on zoom user creation and zoom update user api, in rate limit document these are light apis, so I should get 80 req. / second, but I am calling this api around 1-2 per second, still getting rate limit error.  
Please check that, is there any other rate limits in this apis, let me know if any.

Hi @vaghelaabhijeet6,

Are you calling any other API endpoints that fall under the Light category in addition to our /users endpoints? Keep in mind that rate limits are shared across a category, so if you’re making other requests that fall under the Light category, they’ll count towards your available per/second limit as well.

Let me know–thanks,  
Will
