Hi Pratik,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Looking over the error code that you have sent us, I can see that you have exceeded the limit for the account for that request. If you look in it you will see that it says the limit is 250000, and that yours was over it at 250002. You can also check here which talks about the very specific error that you got.

Yes,

But many extensions remove from the account and after that also it's saying the same kind of error.

So, when we remove the existing extension that will reduce that count?

If not reduce count then how do we remove and add a new extension?

Hi Pratik,

Thank you for the reply. I work with William and let me provide support to your concern.

For this part of your concern, you may check on your end if the number of active extensions reached the 250,000 limit.

"But many extensions remove from the account and after that also it's saying the same kind of error."

Moving forward to your questions below, removed extensions will indeed not be included in the count. Then, to remove extensions on the API perspective, you may refer to this document to know how.

"So, when we remove the existing extension that will reduce that count?
If not reduce count then how do we remove and add a new extension?"

Let me know if you have further questions.
