coling Invalid API Responses from Salesforce
Hi,
My app, BizConnector (/Lead Follow-Up) is getting invalid error responses for some of its customers when it attempts to log in via the SOAP API. This app has been running since 2007 and successfully logs in on behalf of most of its customers 24/7 - and has been doing so for years. This kind of invalid response is only evident for a few customers, and has only started behaving like this recently.
One particular customer has a maximum quota of 15000 but is getting these error responses even though the actual API count is only in the hundreds. BizConnector counts API requests, and, for example shows the following counts over the last few days.
8/9 1157
8/10 836
8/11 984
8/12 836
8/13 113
A sample API request and response are below. This is clearly a Salesforce bug and needs to be fixed.

I look forward to prompt attention to this matter.

Salesforce has a finite limit of API Requests based on the number of User Licenses purchased for that organization. This API Request limit applies across the board, not only to incoming requests from your BizConnector calls. The API Request limit is a rolling 24-hour limit, meaning that if I used up all the requests in the past 24 hours, I'll have to wait until the next top of the hour to see if it receeds or not.
You can check your current API limit status by going to Setup->Company Information->Company Profile, and it will tell you how many requests you are allotted and how many requests are used up.
For more information on the API Request Limit see the following document: http://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=integrate_api_rate_limiting.htm
