Error: max number of additions on first account #15

I followed the instructions to set up my Plaid account, and got my developer client_id and secret. (My ~/.config/plaid2text/config file contains them after my first run.) Then I followed the steps to add my first account (details anonymized)

$ plaid2text my_checking --create-account
/home/philipsd6/.local/venvs/beancount/lib/python3.5/site-packages/plaid/client.py:155: UserWarning:

I tried with several different banks with the same results, even with bogus account details. Do I need to upgrade to the Plaid production environment to do this? I didn't think that was necessary for getting started.

Not sure why this needed to be done right off the bat, but Plaid raised my limits on my request.

Not sure what was going on there. I never had any issue.

I am glad you have it resolved.
