[#612] API Call Error: "Too many request"

We have integrated Simplybook to our application. However, recently, user can no longer book their appointment via our application and keep getting the “Too many response” error.
Is there a way to get the report of our API usage?
Can you help to unblock this?, because it is currently affecting our activities and a lot of our customers are complaining.
Is there anyway we can increase our API call quota, incase after investigation, we find out that this are legitimate API calls?

hi, you exceed double API quota. You now using 10K queries per day while only 5K allowed Terms and Conditions - SimplyBook.me booking system

We reserve the rights in the case of high volume of bookings to suspend the relevant system momentarily to try to equalize the server load. This can result in some of your users getting a message to try to book again in a few minutes. High load can for example be considered 50 people trying to process a booking with a user account in less than 30 seconds or sending more than 5.000 API requests per day with number of parallel requests to be limited by maximum 2 at same time and not exceed 5 requests per second on common servers. Also, to prevent too high load on servers from individual accounts all subscriptions levels have a maximum number users and providers as per pricing table. Enterprise level allows for higher limits. Common enterprise server has 25.000 per day API requests limit; while dedicated servers allow unlimited requests limited by server specifications.
