We’ve seem to hit a little snag with the request limits. We’ve created an application that’s used by support teams to proactively monitor the performance of Zoom rooms, Zoom Users and other Video technologies. Since there’s no straightforward API that retrieves all of the data needed, we’re forced to run multiple API calls with different time intervals. So with a user base of 5K Zoom users and 120 Zoom rooms, we quickly exceed the REST API call limits. How can we request an REST API call limit increase? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/1X/8c0118b906c8927a25874149cc89db37c0a7fa49.png) ---

Important to know what the service responds once you hit the limit. Will you get a proper information as a response or will it just drop the request? ---
