Hello,

We are receiving the following errors when we try to send our daily
reading campaign - this has been happening since the server issues on
the weekend:

Unable to Load Templates!
Code=506
Msg=Template names must be unique and one named "Subscribe to the
Daily Readings List' already exists
Unable to Load Templates!
Code=-50

Please advise. No changes to our code have been made during this time.

account name is RansomedHeart

Thanks,
~Bryan

Error codes are listed here:

Both errors contain messages explaining the issue (as you've posted
with the 506) and are both things you need to handle. The -50
specifically is related to this:

Looking at your calls for yesterday, you managed to make calls in
these amounts:

+-----------------+----------+
| listMembers | 6 |
| lists | 8 |
| listSubscribe | 50976 |
| listUnsubscribe | 729 |
| templateAdd | 1 |
+-----------------+----------+

It's hard to imagine why you'd need to make 50k listSubscribe calls
per day since that's ~66% of your list size, so you should really
review whatever your code is doing and fix it to be sane.
