**Description** I am sporadically reaching per-second limits much quicker than expected on my Education account. Additionally, when I check the API Call Logs ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/logs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/logs)) for my app, they only seem to show the 200 responses. **Error** 429 status **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** JWT **Which Endpoint/s?** > **[Get a User - User - SCIM2 API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/scim-api/user/userscim2get)** > > Get details about a specific user. > > OAuth Scope: scim2 > > Authorization > > Flow: authorizationCode > > Authorization URL: https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize > ... > **[Deactivate a User - User - SCIM2 API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/scim-api/user/useradscim2deactivate)** > > Deactivate an existing user. > > OAuth Scope: scim2 > > Authorization > > Flow: authorizationCode > > Authorization URL: https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize > > Token... **How To Reproduce (If applicable)** I am running a script which makes these calls for each inputted user: /scim2/Users?filter=userName%20eq%20&count=1&startIndex=1 /scim2/Users/{“schemas”:[“urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp”],“Operations”:[{“op”:“replace”,“value”:{“active”:true}}]} **Screenshots (If applicable)** My script output: ![ScriptLogs](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/5/54a1f2de0ff6c3806c28dfdf302671883354e2ee.png) API Call Logs: ![ZoomAPICallLogs.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/6/61efcf89d5ed2cd66cbb8ef0b4409065fc1cf7b8.jpeg) ---

Hey @carla Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂 Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@Update User's fields (SCIM2 API)](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/6248): > > Description/Error I am trying to update an existing user’s information. This user was created using the Zoom SCIM2 API. I have found that I am able to update an existing user’s active, name, userType, and department fields. However, I am unable to update a User’s loginType, displayName, and userName fields. When I try to update anyone of those fields I get a 200 response, but the fields do not update. Is it possible to update an existing user’s loginType, displayName, and userName fields?

No, these don’t help ---

Hi @carla, Are you able to share some more details about your use case and how many requests you’re trying to send per second? Any additional context will be helpful to make sure I can give you the best guidance on how to stay within your limits. Thanks! Will ---

Hi Will, Thank you for reaching out. I am using the API to quickly deactivate multiple users. For each user in a file (in this case about 60 users), I am making a Get User and a Deactivate User call. Once I realized I was receiving the 429 rate limit rejection, I experimented with delay times and was still receiving 429 responses at as few as 3 requests per second. Please let me know what other information would be helpful. On Zoom’s Rate limits page, it looks like with an Education account and light requests, I should be able to make 80 requests per second. Thank You, Carla ---

Hi @carla, Thanks so much for clarifying—I’ve just DM’d you for some account details so that I can take a closer look. Thanks! Will ---
