API Timeout Issue Starting on 05.09.2024

Since this morning, we've been encountering issues with API requests, with many of them timing out unexpectedly. After extensive testing and debugging, we found that the timeouts occur randomly, potentially due to a throttling limit or an API usage capacity per seconds or minutes.

Interestingly, when making the same API requests from different IPs or localhost, no timeouts occur. This leads us to believe the issue could be related to limits based on IP or domain.

This log is used to track when the timeouts occur. As you can see, the timeouts happen at random intervals—sometimes after the first request, other times after the second, fifth, and so on. There's no consistent pattern.

  I'm asking you all for any feedback as to the logic or reasoning behind drastically limiting portal users when Zoho already meters based on number of records. I'm a single-seat, Zoho One Enterprise license holder. If my portal users are going to add records, wouldn't that increase revenue for Zoho as that is how Creator is monetized? Why limit my customer portal to only THREE external users when more users would equate to more records being entered into the database?!? (See help ticket reply below.)
