    Thanks Greg.

     

    I checked type of my account its a pro account and iam sending below request:

     

    {
"path": "/Level1/Level2/Level3.txt",
"settings": {
"requested_visibility": "password",
"link_password": "abc",
"expires": "2017-12-15T15:50:38Z"
}
}

     

    Still the endpoint gives below error:

     

    {
"error_summary": "settings_error/not_authorized/",
"error": {
".tag": "settings_error",
"settings_error": {
".tag": "not_authorized"
}
}
}

     

    What could be the reason for such behavior?

    And if the Pro account expires does it still give the account_type as 'pro' by any chance?

     

    Please guide me one this.

     

    Thanks,

    Akshata

      If the user's Pro plan has ended, the information returned by /2/users/get_current_account should contain the new value.

      If that doesn't seem to be the case for you, please share the output of /2/users/get_current_account as well as a screenshot showing the Pro plan has ended, e.g., from the web site.
