Hi, I am using an admin account and am having issues with the update user settings API.

I get a successful 204 in response, but when I do a subsequent call to get the user settings for that same user -

the user settings seem not to be updated. Also checked in the Zoom UI, the settings are not changed. My payload is-  
PATCH [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/)\<UserID\>/settings  
Authorization: Bearer \<token\>  
Accept: application/json, application/xml  
Content-Type: application/json

{  
“feature”:  
{  
“large\_meeting”: true,  
“webinar”:true,  
“large\_meeting\_capacity”: 500,  
“webinar\_capacity”: 500  
}  
}
