Hey @markf,

Are you on a free basic Zoom account? If so, your app will only have 1 request per second rate limits.

Thanks,

For us the error is mostly gone since Apr 12. Occurs very rarely now. Doing less than 1 request per second.

Are you on a free basic Zoom account? If so, your app will only have 1 request per second rate limits.

It doesn’t seem to be covered by docs.

Hey @r.sokhan,

Glad to hear the issue has subsided. We will add the Free Account rate limits to the docs, CC @michael.zoom @shrijana.g.

Thanks,

Since we still sometime receive unexpected Rate limit error (even after recent update of limits): is this being investigated? Should I provide additional logs?

Hey @r.sokhan,

How often are you calling which endpoint? Yes, please share additional info.

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi @tommy! Upon looking on logs for the past week I assume that remaining errors for us are because of a user hitting 100 create meeting reqs per day (as per https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate). Would it be possible for you to pass a precise reason along with a rate limit response in future?

Hey @r.sokhan,

Yes, we are working on improved error messaging. For now, you can track on your end how many meetings you have created per user.

Thanks,
Tommy
