GENERAL_QUOTA_EXCEEDED and GENERAL_RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

[Bernd Welter]

Cheers,

I've been asked for the difference between GENERAL_QUOTA_EXCEEDED and GENERAL_RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.

Here is some info

• GENERAL_QUOTA_EXCEEDED: this occurs whenever your periodical budget of test transactions is exceedeed. If you have a regular developer agreement we can remove this constraint from your account settings.
• GENERAL_RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: this message appears if we detect your consumption behaviour critical in terms of denial-of-service. This requires you to return to the servies later once your workload is more relaxed.

Further info (such as the current rate limits) is available in the FAQ section.
Best regards,
Bernd
