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

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:

1. Create a Docusign trial account
2. Verify the Business Pro Trial is active (I clicked on View Plans at the top, it shows “your trial plan” above “Business Pro”)
3. Create an envelope with a PDF document
4. Send it for signing
5. From the Agreements page, select the envelope and select “Correct”
6. On the “Correct” page, click on “Discard changes” - You will get back to the Agreements page, but the Envelope stays as “Correcting”
7. Go back to editing the Envelope, upload a new PDF and click “next”
8. You’ll get the “The API request is forbidden. Request blocked due to excess usage”

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:

1. Create a Docusign trial account
2. Create an envelope with a few PDF documents
3. Send it for signing
4. From the Agreements page, select the envelope and select “Correct”
5. Fixed a typo in someone’s name
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”

And it seems that I also have the same here:

• 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 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!

​@Jeff.Daviscourt do you have any suggestions to solve this problem? Or can you provide a timeline for this bug to be fixed?

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.
