Dear Experts,

I'm facing Set-MsolUserLicense : You have exceeded the maximum number of allowable transactions. Please try again later. I googled around but it pointed me to use Graph instead, I'm very new to this so anyone can point me to the right direction about how to use MS Graph to accomplish this task?

Do I need to create a script as app and register in AAD?

How to authenticate via MS Graph?

Sorry for all the stupid questions. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Hello there,

    The error message "You have exceeded the maximum number of allowable transactions. Please try again later" typically indicates that you have reached a limit on the number of transactions or operations you can perform within a specific time frame. The specific steps to fix this issue depend on the context in which you are encountering the error. Here are some general suggestions to address this problem:

    Wait and Try Again Later: As the error message suggests, the most straightforward solution is to wait for a while and then try again later. The limit is likely imposed to prevent excessive usage or potential abuse, and it should reset after some time.

    Check for Service Status: If you encounter this error while using an online service or website, check the service status to see if there are any known outages or maintenance periods. The service provider may have temporarily restricted access due to maintenance or other reasons.

    Review API or Usage Limits: If you are using an API (Application Programming Interface) to interact with a service or platform, check the documentation or developer portal for any usage limits or rate limits. Ensure that you are not exceeding the allowed number of requests or transactions per minute or hour.

    Check for Account Restrictions: Some services or platforms may impose account-specific restrictions, especially if you are using a free or trial account. Review your account settings to see if there are any limits on your usage.
