Unable to create meeting for Basic users - error code 1115

We used to be able to make a meetingcreate API call to create a (limited) meeting for a Basic user. This changed in the first half of the year and we now get an error code 1115 “not a paid user” unless we change the user to a Licensed user. The error code and 400 http status from the response are not referenced in the API reference so is this intended and undocumented or is it a bug?

We are using a private JWT app if that is relevant.

Thank you,
Brian

This response did not help - thanks for forwarding to the developer relations team.

Hey @breynolds,

Please provide steps to reproduce the issue and your request body JSON so I can attempt to reproduce the error.

Thanks,
Tommy

Thank you for your response! I was mistaken – the issue is actually when you have a Basic user as an alternate host. It happens both on POST (create) and PATCH (update). Here is an example request and response. Let me know what you think.

Best,
Brian

Hey @breynolds,

Yeah to add an alternative host the user has to be paid. Prerequisites here:
