Hello, 

I send the document to the wrong signer so I decided to change the mail adress. It worked, it is written :Correction but when I want to save this appear : 

The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage

 

I don’t understand why.

Hello Friends, Chet Raj from BatchNepal here,

 

For a temporary workaround you can:

Go to your agreement: Dashboard → envelopes → sent

Click on 3 dots (options) → copy → agreement editor will appear.
Edit → save and send it. Delete previous one.

Hope they fix this bug trial users are facing. It brings negative impression on the product for advanced users like us.

This isn’t a debate club. You don’t get to win customer satisfaction by being right on a technicality that in some obscure document someone doing a trial wouldn’t be looking at the nondescript error is kinda sorta explained

Do you not see that many people’s first experience with your platform will be to see something not working without any sort of message that says that this basic functionality isn’t available in the trial version

 

I needed something signed and gambled that signing up for a paid plan might let me get unstuck and got lucky but there was zero indication that that would work just as there was zero indication that I couldn’t complete my correction to the document until after I was 99% done with that.

Thanks for it, I guess, but I don’t need or care about your apology I’m just telling you you should at least put up some guardrails so trial users don’t get stuck or / better don’t arbitrarily limit their ability to use the such basic functionality in a trial unless it’s your goal to have people’s very first experience with your product be a bad one.

it doesn’t escape my attention that this is a dark pattern that compels them to sign up.giving you very little perceived incentive to fix it but all this experience and your comments have achieved here is to make me want to look for another / better solution since you’re clearly showing not telling exactly how much you care about prospective customers.

I am having the same issue on a paid developer account with full permissions. I’m in the sandbox trying to use bulk send with a CSV that has 40 recipients on it. Since it hasn't been sent, the workaround from Chet Raj does not apply.
