Are you using a new-ish developer account to do testing for a paid production account? If so I would open a support ticket to see if they can unblock your developer account. It sounds like you’re hitting some service protection limits.

I’m having the same issue with a trial Business Pro account, directly on the website. Here is how it can be reproduced:
This is fully done on the Docusign website. No need for a dev account.
Moreover, as I don’t have a paid account, I can’t open a support ticket.
I also have this issue. I have a trial account and am not a developer. Whenever I tried to correct the envelope, this message came up. Please at least allow me to actually disregard the change without changing the status to “correcting”. Thanks.
I am also facing same issue. Can anyone please help?
Same issue, this is an important feature. Hope it’s fixed soon! (just did what skyrm did using the interface)
Same issue here, with almost the same steps:
And it seems that I also have the same here:
Which blocks my envelope for now… I hope I don’t have to cancel this one, create another one, and make everybody sign again!
same here!
Same issue here
I have the same issue and this document is really important to me. Please help!
When trying to finish the corrections, I keep getting the message “The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage”.
This is my first time using DocuSign. If my document remains stuck in ‘correct’ mode due to this bug, I don't think I will be getting a paid plan.
I was able to get around it by upgrading from a trial to a paid plan. I had no other option but to go that route as I needed to get a contract signed after making corrections. Kind of disappointing that this happened since I wasn’t able to fully evaluate the trial before pulling the trigger.
I have the same issue. I initially posted in the “stuck in correct status thread. Unfortunately it seems that Docu does not care much about the trial users. Well that will help me make my decision to use another solution...
same issue; can’t do anything about it while correcting an envelope.. not encouraging me to sign up for a paid plan when the trial is this bad

Sounds like Docusign has negative incentive to fix this
I have the same issue, please can support contact me to fix this. Do not intend to proceed with a paid plan if this is a common bug.
I believe this issue is related to the Envelope recipient restrictions on certain types of accounts: DocuSign account limits. “30 Day Trial” and “Free Accounts” have a 5-recipient limit on a single Envelope. I’ve had a Developer account for about the last 5 years and it appears that DocuSign has recently added this restriction to Bulk Send in the Developer accounts as well (if I’m not using Bulk Send, I can send to as many recipients as I like). I know this worked a year ago, because I’ve got an old test template/file I ran Feburary/March 2024 that worked then but now throws that error. I’ve looked through the Release Notes but don’t see any mention of this update. I’m very annoyed as I’ve spent a lot of time researching something that used to work.
