The [API doc for Create Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) says the API has a daily rate limit of 100 requests per day.

I would like to know what the error looks like when this limit has been exceeded.

According to the [error definitions](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/error-definitions) I should expect to see a 429 status code. For the per-second limit the message is “You have reached the maximum per-second rate limit for this API. Try again later.”… what would it be in the daily limit case?

Thanks  
Oren

Hi @oren.sivan,

That’s correct that you’ll get a 429 error message when you exceed 100 meeting API calls. The full error message response is below:

```json
{
    "code": 429,
    "message": "You have exceeded the daily rate limit (100) of Meeting Create/Update API requests permitted for this particular user. You may resume these requests at GMT 00:00:00."
}

```

Thank you @michael.zoom! I just had a follow-up question: Will the resume time always be GMT 00:00:00?

Because the document. here : [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits#best-practices-for-handling-errors](http://BestRateLimit)

**Example Response Header:**

**X-RateLimit-Category:** Heavy  
**X-RateLimit-Type:** Daily-limit  
**X-RateLimit-Limit:** 30000  
**X-RateLimit-Remaining:** 0  
**Retry-After:** 2020-05-31T00:00:00Z

But I see a different output.

Here is what I see :

```
"statusCode": 429,
  "body": {
    "code": 429,
    "message": "You have exceeded the daily rate limit (100) of Meeting Create/Update API requests permitted for this particular user. You may resume these requests at GMT 00:00:00."
  },

"headers": {
 "x-ratelimit-category": "Light",
"x-ratelimit-limit": "6000",
"x-ratelimit-remaining": "5893"
}

```

What does the above output mean? It says daily limit has been hit but I don’t see the _x-ratelimit-type_ or _retry\_after_ being set ?

We will confirm if the [docs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits#best-practices-for-handling-errors) are accurate, CC @shrijana.g.

@tommy @jitenshah Please see my response here: [Differentiation of 429 errors](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/differentiation-of-429-errors/14899/8)

It will be resolved in a future release.

Thanks,
