Problem statement
Currently, on our Auth0 plan, it seems we should get 1000 M2M authentication calls per month.
I am currently on 574 calls but my calls are being blocked now and I have the message:
“Machine to Machine Auth has are currently being denied as you have exceeded your plan limit for this month”
Am I missing something here? Did I misunderstand the Essentials plan somehow?
Symptoms
- “Machine to Machine Auth has are currently being denied as you have exceeded your plan limit for this month”
Solution
To know whether you have gone over quota or not, Auth0 takes into account the usage of your last three months and calculates an average.
If this average is within your subscription limits, you will be under your quota limit. Otherwise, you’ll be considered to be over quota.
This method of quota calculation could lead to a scenario where you may be considered to have gone above your monthly quota limits while still being below your quota utilization and vice versa.
