Guys, I encountered the same problem with you, I just purchased a subscription here. But I'm wondering how you got the information about the current limits?

Thanks for the bug report. This was a transient issue due to server overload at a peak usage time. It is mitigated for now, and we're investigating a more permanent fix.
