Suddenly today (Jan. 5th, 2026), every 7 seconds my computer would display the following error message:
Toggl : 402 Payment Required, You have hit your hourly limit for API calls. Please upgrade to a paid plan for incre…”
I didn’t think I was using the Toggl API, but I did have the Toggl extension added inside Raycast, and I noticed that an open Raycast window would disappear every time the error message was shown.
The error messages no longer show after disabling/uninstalling the extension from Raycast.
I’m posting this message in the hopes that anyone with a similar issue can troubleshoot and solve it faster.
It is the extension. You likely have the menubar task display option turned on and that’s triggering api limits. I turned that off and now only get it when I switch tasks more than 4-5 times an hour.
Oh and as per @Support you only get 30 api calls regardless of the plan, so the error message is misleading. Perhaps they should update that as well. Seriously.
@Support I believe that your browser extension what the only integration I have set up. (I was also connected to a Google calendar for a Google Workspace I no longer have access to, but that was connected via the settings panel within Toggl).
As correctly guessed by @Speck, I did have the menubar task display option turned on.
