Same here, with the following steps:

1. Create a Docusign trial account
2. Create an envelope with a few PDF documents
3. Send it for signing to the 5 participants (including myself)
4. From the Agreements page, select the envelope and select “Correct”
5. Fixed a typo in someone’s name or email
6. On the “Correct” page, click on “Next” then “Correct”
7. You’ll get the “The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage”

Moreover, on the “Correct” page, click on “Discard changes” - You will get back to the Agreements page, but the Envelope stays as “Correcting”

Which blocks my envelope for now… I hope I don’t have to invalidate this one, create another one, and make everybody sign again!

Please be explicit if it is a limitation of the current plan (I have a trial plan), or something else, and which plan would solve that issue. If you are willing to do so, you can temporarily upgrade me for free so I can test if that was the problem. If it is an internal bug, please tell me more about what I can do for now to get that envelope signed.

I’m having the exact sane issue

Hello ​@calum523 ​@Thibaud,

Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community.

Can you DM me an Envelope ID for one of the envelopes that are having this issue?

Same issue here.

same issue and it’s really making me not want to sign. up for a paid account

Hello ​@AlmogBaku ​@Evar ​@Thibaud ​@calum523 ​@Vfdev44 ​@smenor,

I see that you are getting an error message when correcting envelopes. Correcting envelopes is available to users with paid Docusign plans only. Free accounts cannot use the correct feature. The option is to void the existing envelope and create a new one or upgrade to a paid plan. Here is an article for your reference: Common sending issues > Need to correct an envelope

I understand that this situation may have caused some inconvenience, and for that, I sincerely apologize. Let us know if you need further assistance. Thank you!

This is such a transparent gross and dirty way to force people into a paid plan.

If you’re going to offer a「 free 」tier you should actually make it free and if you insist on pulling this sort of thing, you should at least TELL PEOPLE that the issue is due to being in the fake「 free 」tier and resolvable by paying because there is absolutely zero hint from this error that this is the problem or that paying will actually resolve it ( it did for me but I feel violated / cheated that you pushed me into paying before I wanted to and doubly so that it was a gamble to have tried that and if it wouldn’t have worked I’d have had no real recourse )
