Changes in the API behvaiour

[magico]

Hallo all,

recently i see a different behaviour using the API. 

My code is just asking for 5 data points every 5 minutes. That is well below the limits given in the FAQ.
Additionally i have one Streaming API connected for about 6 hours two times a day.

That behaviour worked well for almost 6 months now. Finally since one week i see that my streaming API connection is dropped after some hours. 
When i try then to login i get the following error code 

"errorCode": "error.public-api.exceeded-api-key-allowance"

 

I really dont get what has changed meanwhile. After some hours it is then working again.
Can some one can give me further input why the connection is stopped even after two hours?

 

Bye,

Florian

@KoketsoIG: Thanks for your feedback.

I am aware of the API companion and your reference.

Regarding the limits i read:

• What are the default Streaming API limits?

  40 concurrent subscriptions

• Can I increase my streaming API limits?

  Your limit may be managed by unsubscribing and subscribing as required. Please do not create multiple concurrent connections as this may lead to your API key being suspended

 

Right now it is happening again. My code has an active subscription for about 3 hours.  My API is giving error while connection:

"errorCode": "error.public-api.exceeded-api-key-allowance"

 

Please give me further information how to deal with that. 

 

Thanks,

Florian

Dear @magico,

Please note that you know that you receive a weekly allowance of 10k data points. If you happen to use up your allowance, you may encounter an error and will have to wait for the weekly limit to reset.

Thanks,

Dear @KoketsoIG

thank you for providing feedback. I am aware of your limits and adapt everything to be below them.

I have added some further output below. 

It seems that there might be an easy with the server. It seems that connection is simply lost.
Is there a possbility to comment from this side?

 

Thanks,

Florian

Is there an update on this?

I am seeing similar behaviour, intermittent API calls failing with error:

error.public-api.exceeded-api-key-allowance

I am nowhere near the 60 non trading requests per minute:
