Why were my DiscoLike lookups suddenly refused?
The DiscoLike help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Every API key on an account draws on the same limit for each endpoint, so another tool using the account can use up the room.
What causes it?
Every API key on an account draws on the same limit for each endpoint, so another tool using the account can use up the room.
In the DiscoLike help:
All API keys on one account share a bucket per endpoint.
Rate Limits | DiscoLike API, read 2026-11-12.Besides the per-minute limit, DiscoLike caps how many email lookups can wait in line and how many longer tasks can run at once.
In the DiscoLike help:
Separate limits on work in progress cap queued email lookups and running async tasks.
Rate Limits | DiscoLike API, read 2026-11-12.Limits are counted per minute over a moving window, so a burst of requests can be refused even on an otherwise quiet day.
In the DiscoLike help:
Rate limits are requests per minute, counted per endpoint against a moving window.

How do I check it myself?
Read the message that comes back with a refused request; it gives the account's current count and the limit.
In the DiscoLike help:
The detail message gives your current count and the limit.
Rate Limits | DiscoLike API, read 2026-11-12.A refused request is not charged and does nothing, so it can be tried again once earlier work has finished.
In the DiscoLike help:
A refused request starts nothing and bills nothing; send it again once earlier work finishes.

How does DiscoLike work with Feder?
- Connect DiscoLike to Feder and it joins your Interest apps.
- When you connect DiscoLike, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See whether you can trust the numbers in DiscoLike, one of your Interest apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in DiscoLike.
