Is there way to urgently reset our rate limit? We experienced an incident overnight which caused excessive requests of the API. We have since resolved the issue but are now hitting user rate limits to update the meetings. Is there anything that can be done here? Please help! ---

Not a Zoom employee here but my observation has been that the Meeting API seems to count the daily limit against the user account the calls are made on behalf of, not against the API account itself. i.e., doing create meeting POSTs to `/users/emailZoomApiIsRegisteredWith@mycompany.com/meetings` and `/users/foo@mycompany.com/meetings` count as 1 against foo and 1 against `emailZoomApiIsRegisteredWith`, not 2 against `emailZoomApiIsRegisteredWith`. The above assumes that the OAuth App etc., is registered under `emailZoomApiIsRegisteredWith@mycompany.com`, and that `foo@mycompany.com` is a valid user account in your overall Zoom account. EDIT (hit enter too soon!): So in short, you _may_ be able to change your API calls for the ones that create or edit meetings to a specific email address in order to work around. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/8/b/8b7ecb5280dc83c8ba9d07f79fc9261958ea9db4.png) That all said, your daily limit resets at midnight UTC ---
