Etsy API Quota

Did tmp files are written?

Yes, there are temp files.

Are they created each time your go on the page, or on 6 hours delay?
You will see the last update of each tmp files in the admin page.

It appears they are created each time a visitor navigates to the page.

in the setting the cache life is set to 6 hours

actually, it seems that they are only created when the page loads if the cache is older than 6 hours

Do you use the short code on many page, many time?
URL?

I use one shortcode per page:
https://www.micajoboutique.com/

Ok, your suppose to have 10 000 requests per day max with your API key.
Do you use your API key elsewhere?

PS: the plugin do 1 request per short code every 6 hour

nope, just there… here is the exact error we got:

Dear Developer,

This message is regarding your Etsy App, XXXXXXX, with api_key: XXXXXXX

This message is to notify you that you are near the limit of your Etsy API quota. You have reached 80% of your quota of: 10 requests per 1 second(s)

If your application requires a higher quota, please contact us at [email protected] with a description of your app and the requests you are making.

I found this particularly odd because it would be very hard (if not impossible) for a human to make that many requests so rapidly, and as this is a new site, I highly doubt 8 people happened to click on to product pages on the site at the exact same time.

I just received another of these messages

Maybe you may contact Etsy to know more on that
