**Description**  
I try to add webinar500 license for user, but get error:

HTTP request to ‘[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/settings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/settings)’ has failed with status code ‘BadRequest’.

Response content: { “code”: 200, “message”: “You can add max 4 Webinar 1000 - Promotion users.” }

Request content: {  
“feature”: { “large\_meeting”: false, “large\_meeting\_capacity”: 0, “webinar”: true, “webinar\_capacity”: 500 }  
}

I have enought webinar500\_promo\_monthly licenses but api tries to use webinar1000\_promo\_monthly.  
This endpoint worked well until this day. Maybe something is changed in its behavior?

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
I use JWT app, [Update user settings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usersettingsupdate) endpoint

**How To Reproduce**

1. Create custCreate user and change webinar\_capacity to 500.
2. See error or see webinar1000 license is used instead.

**Screenshots**

Hi @Jaroslav,

Thank you for reaching out about this—I believe this may be the result of a recent promotion from 100 to 500, but I’m working on confirming this.

In the meantime, can you try to make requests with the following adjustment: send a capacity of 100 to actually achieve 500, and send a capacity of 500 to actually achieve 1,000. See below:

Example for the 500 plan: {“feature":{“webinar”:true,“webinar\_capacity”:100}}  
Example for the 1000 plan: {“feature”:{“webinar”:true,"webinar\_capacity”:500}}

Let me know if this helps,  
Will

@will.zoom Thanks for your reply.

Examples above work as you described, but I think this behavior should be fixed in api.

Hey @Jaroslav,

Thank you for your input, I agree. We are working to make sure that using the API is more user friendly in the future. In the meantime, thank you for adjusting to this API change.

Thanks,

Hey @lydtcevk,

I don’t have a timeline but this issue has a lot of traction. We’ll update the thread when we have more information on a timeline.
