You've exceeded the limit for the number of immediate charges that can be made to this subscription in 24 hours. Limit: %d per 24 hours

Common causes

  • You're making a change that results in an immediate charge, but this subscription has had too many immediate charges in the last 24 hours.

Troubleshooting

  • Wait 24 hours before making another change to this subscription that results in an immediate charge.
  • Retry with a proration_billing_mode of prorated_next_billing_period or full_next_billing_period to charge on renewal, if that suits your change.
  • Retry with a proration_billing_mode of do_not_bill to avoid charging the customer, if that suits your change.
  • Contact the Paddle support team if you're not sure why you're being limited, or you're expecting a spike in traffic. Include the request_id with your message, if you received one.
