Error message
Usage limit is less than times already used (Times Used: %d, Usage Limit: %d)

Common causes

  • You're trying to change the usage_limit against a discount to a value that's less than the times_used. This is not permitted.

Troubleshooting

  • Increase the usage_limit so it's greater than times_used.
  • Set usage_limit to null if you'd like a discount to be used an unlimited amount of times.
  • Archive the discount, then create another. times_used against the new discount starts at 0.
