    Guys.  I've just received an email saying that my firm has exceeded its api limit.  The form had no api keys at all so how can this be?

    Are you using the JotForm App in your Android device? If yes, then it is the reason why you are getting this error message. API requests are commonly used on apps and widgets.

    I have reset the API counter back to 0. Keep in mind that we can only do this once, if it happens again, you need to upgrade your subscription or wait for the limit to reset back to 0.

    For further information regarding daily API call limits, you can visit our updated user guide about daily API call limits: Daily API Call Limits

    If you have any questions, please contact us again. Thank you.

    exactly the same issue. There is no way I am using 10000 API calls per day. On a good day it might be 10. This is the first time this has happened since I have owned the account (many years). Something is possibly triggering this in your end?

    Guys.  It's your app not mine.  Why am I being penalised for using a tool you provide? 

    Are you seriously telling me that #your# api calls are counted against my account?  

    You need a rethink here.

    Same here.  We are a small account.  Why all of a sudden are we exceeding a 10,000 daily api limit?  Doesn't seem correct based on prior submission history.

    Same problem here.

    I do not have any API Keys and I'm not using JotForm App in an Android device, yet I all of a sudden received an email saying I reached an API limit today.  It even provided a partial API Key number in the email... I don't know where that number even came from.

    Does that mean we can use that android app without eating into our api credits now?
