Shopping API Call Limit

If I count my webrequests to the finding API I get to about 5000 then hit the rate limit.
If I count my webrequests to the trading API I get to about 5000 then hit the rate limit.
If I count my webrequests to the shopping API I get to only 2500 then hit the rate limit.
I can see that others have had this problem but cannot find an answer. Does anybody have experience of this issue or know of a fix

Hi @jeffh19702012 ,

Could you please file App check to get the actual call limit and usage of Shopping API as we want more details which is we can't ask on the Forum.

You can file App Check from here,

https://developer.ebay.com/my/support/tickets?tab=app-check

Please note that you need not to pay for Compatible Application Check.

Best Regards,

eBay Developer Support

Hi Iv'e asked this question twice at the link you provided but they either tell me I'm not eligable for an app check or just close the question unanswered. Is there any other way I can find out why I only gete 2500 calls on the shopping api

I had a compatible app with 1.5 million calls on the finding, shopping and trading apis. After 3 years with no change in the behavior of the ap..without warning the compatability status was revoked. Repeated questions no response. Then the shopping api dropped from 5000 calls to 2500..Asked again..no response.

On advice asked in the forums told by support to ask in compatability check..still no response. Searched the forums..nothing

QUESTION: Has anybody ever got anything useful out of ebay developer support or is it really as crap as it appears to be.
