Thank you for reaching out to the Docusign Community.
If you have confirmed that all the account details match those of your original account, and there are no payment methods linked to it in Settings>Plan and Billing, you may disregard the banner. Signing documents in eSignature will remain free of charge, only envelopes sent from your account will be deduced from your monthly quota.
Feel free to let us know if you need further assistance with this.

Hi. I’m in the same situation as the person above. I signed in again and checked my settings - I only use it to sign and send documents about 3-4 times a year (usually about 5 documents each time). I was able to send three documents yesterday - the first time I’ve done this in six weeks - but when I went to send the fourth, it said ‘the envelope allowance for the account has been exceeded.’ I have tried again today, same message.
I have no idea what an envelope allowance is. How can I send my last two signed documents?
Dear Alejandro,
thank you for your reply.
As I said, I have a free account so no payment methods are linked to it.
As you suggested I tried to ignore the first banner, but I got another banner “Invalid envelope status. Envelope not yet sent”. So problem not solved...
There is no way to simply upload and sign the document, I need to create an envelope first and then check the box “I am the only signer”. This is the way I used Docusign so far, without any sort of problems (60 docs in the last 6 months).
In fact, in my homepage I cannot select “Sign a document” option, I only have a generic Start button that creates an envelope (and then I check I am the only signer)
Thank your for your help
Deb
Thank you, that option to create an envelope doesn’t appear when I click docusign on my documents.
Anyway, I have now seen I can sign on Dropbox and I will use that instead.
Thanks again for replying
Hi @deb92,
Thank you for following up.
Since your account does not follow the default behavior expected from a free account in eSignature, the root cause of the issue might be related to how it is configured on the back end.

To help expedite the troubleshooting of the problem, please try collecting your user’s logs as described in the guide provided below, and then attach the resulting file as part of a new support case. To create a new support case, fill out the form provided, here:
If you can’t open the case on the same page, you should scroll down to More Support Options and select "I can't reset my password or don't have an account.", you will be able to fill out the form.

Sorry that’s way too complicated when I can just sign elsewhere.
FYI the problem happened in the same session - I hadn’t logged out then gone back. I signed and sent three documents, then minutes later when I tried to do it with another document, it didn’t work.

I attempted to create a support case by filling out the form. However, since I only have a free account, I cannot be helped. I received the following response:
