Question

Envelope allowance exceed on free account

I have had a free account that I use only for signing documents myself, since 2020 or 2021. All of a sudden last week, I’m getting a message that “the envelope allowance for the account has been exceeded.” I have never, ever, sent an envelope, so I don’t understand the issue.

 

Up at the top, it even says 3 sends left:

 

I sent a message to DocuSign, and got a “there is no limit for signing, only for sending” message, so I’m stumped. Why would this be happening? I literally only use it for signing.

Thank you in advance! This is such an inconvenience!

the trail account can send 3 envelope free, so it notice that you still can send 3 envelope.

I realize that. Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s telling me I’ve reached my maximum envelopes when I’ve never sent one.

Other users have had the same issue. You can try to contact support, but they were unable to help me since I am not a paid user.

Well, it’s worked for a week or so, but now I’m getting the message again. So frustrating.

I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster, after signing maybe 5 documents  Support confirmed to me that there should be no limit on uploading (single) signing files, then downloading the files.

Support then made a unilateral decision to close the case, as I am not a paying customer.

Has anyone had any luck resolving this issue.

Cheers,

Vic,
