I am really confused, I'm new to all this api stuff btw.
So I try writing some code but I always get the same error.
Btw I got chat got to generate the code.
"Service call has exceeded the number of times the operation is allowed to be called"
I'm really confused bcs I thought the max was 5000, I've barely used it a few times.
Chatgpt says this because my id isn't authorised, I created my account yesterday and I have my app id, cert id, dev id, I used my app id, I just did a simple search. I don't even know if my key is authorised I'm just really confused.
Help would be appreciated.
