Hi there! Thank you very much for using my project.

Well, this error is caused because the application uses the Spotify API, and is in development mode. And there is a quota limit for the number of users, although it hasn't been exceeded.

When I published the project, I checked with some accounts and was able to use the application normally. However, apparently I need to authorize manually the access for any account other than my own on the Spotify developer dashboard.

Anyway, let's try this: send me your email (from your Spotify) and first name, so that I can authorize you to use the application. I don't need any account access or private information at all, just your email address to authorize it. You can understand more about that situation here.

Unfortunately, Github doesn't have private messaging functionality. So, in order for your e-mail address not be exposed on the site, send it here and I'll censor the address as soon as I see it.

Sorry for that non-ideal method. This won't be necessary when Spotify authorizes quota expansion, but I don't know when my submission will be accepted.

Is that okay for you? Let me know!

Thanks for the reply! I wasn't exactly sure whether this was still an ongoing project so I wasn't expecting a response.

The info you asked for: [REDACTED]@gmail.com Nate

[blu3c4t]

oops misclicked

[CezarGab]

Done, Nate! I also already changed your comment to hide the email.

Check if you're able to use Overlyrics now. Probably you'll have to authenticate again. Be sure your spotify account has the same email you have sent me.

[blu3c4t]

It works! Thanks mate!

[CezarGab]

You're welcome!

Hello there! I am having the same problem here. It would be nice to authenticate me too, tell me whenever i can send my email. Thanks in advance!

[CezarGab]

Hi @xtho25! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, Spotify didn't approve my quota extension, so this method of manually adding the emails is still a thing.

So please go ahead and post here your email address. I will invite you as soon as possible.

[xtho25]

Hello, no problem, i changed the auth system a bit to use the script but here is my email anyways: [REDACTED]@gmail.com xtho25 Thanks!

[xtho25]

Thanks, it works, one more thing, make sure to delete the unedited comment for the person above to make the email not visible as it is still possible to see their email from the edited by dropdown menu.

[CezarGab]

Thank you xtho. I didn't noticed the history.

Done here.

I did not see this issues page until now, I'm sorry for authenticating more than once. I'm hoping that this project is still active so that you could approve my email as well. If so, I'll do my best to reply with my email as soon as I can.

[CezarGab]

Hi @AlfredoLezama! No problem if you tried to authenticate more than once.

In order not to spam this issue, can you send me an email with your e-mail address? cezargabriel11@gmail.com I will add you as soon as possible.

Thanks!
