I noticed I kept getting the Request Rate Exceeded error, even when I thought I shouldn't, so I added debug statements and tested to verify.


I am calling https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/accountId/extension/extensionId/presence with a single extension, every 2 seconds.


The API is in the Light usage plan, which should be 50 requests/ 60 seconds, however it is giving an error after 42-43 requests in 80 second time frame:

The last debug throws the Exception. So over the course of 80 seconds, there were only 43 attempted API calls.

Can I get clarification on why this is happening?


Could it be the user is logged in in other apps? You can always check the rate limit window and remain from the response header and control your app API calls.

Is there any reason why you poll the presence of an extension every second? Why don't you use the user presence notification instead?
