Hello, I am wondering why I have over 12000 messages (writes)per day to a channel which I only update all 8 fields every 20 minutes. Or are these statistic timely delayed? Since testing I might have more writes, but now with my ready weather station only every 20 minutes my data will be updated. Wetterbox Channel ID: 2391212 Access: Public Can you explain this to me? Thank you for your help. Regards, Julian Too many messages per day, free account If I read your channel, I see 71 messages from today, and 87 messages from yesterday. howMany=size(thingSpeakRead(2391212 ,"numdays",1, "outputformat","timetable"),1) howManyTwoDay=size(thingSpeakRead(2391212 ,"numdays",2, "outputformat","timetable"),1) howManyTwoDay-howMany=howManyYesterday The total number of messages in your channel right now is about 12,000. I read 8000 of them, the first date in the last 8000 readings is Feb 27 2024. By any chance, are you exporting the data in the channel, clearning your channel and re-importing the data into your channel? Once you update a channel, you use a message. Clearing the channel and reimporting the data just results in double the usage. If you do the clear & re-import "n" times, you are just using "n" times more messages. Thanks for this explanation. True during my testing phase I needed clear and upload data again. This makes sense. Good to know, i'll need to test messages channel update free account

I would like a free account on Thingspeak for 1 device/channel using lorawan and < 300 messages a day for non-commercial (home) use. Today I received an email from MathWorks that my trial period ends. Somewhere I read I may have indicated commercial usage when starting the Thingspeak account. But I cannot find it in Thingspeak profile, nor in my Mathworks profile. How to change this? Free account trial period ends? Can you tell us more about your project? What are you measuring? I am a fan of Lorawan applications, are you using the Things Network integration? Users are not able to change their intended use. Please send me a personal message by clicking on my name and using the envelope icon, we can discuss the possible steps. Update: A MATLAB license is not required to use ThingSpeak. You need a MathWorks account, which is free, but you do not need a MATLAB license. An expiration of a trial MATLAB license will not effect your ThingSpeak use. The application in this case is tide monitoring for personal use, which does not require a commercial license. change profile non-commercial free account

Recently, 2nd Jan 2022 my logging has stopped. In My Account I see I have an expiry date of 10/Jan/2022 could this be the cause??? Specifically does a Free Account eventually expire and besides paying for a student or Home account is there anything I can do to continue using ThingSpeak at no charge? My message count is well below the maximum of 3 million per year. Can a Free Account Expire What is your primary use of ThingSpeak? Are you using it for commercial projects? Used for non commercial projects based on arduino / ESP hardware for home monitoring only I see at least one of your channels was updated today. See: <https://thingspeak.com/channels/249073> I think this may have to do with connectivity on your devices, and nothing to do with ThingSpeak. Thanks for prompt response. Based upon what you have said I'm assuming the 'Free Accounts" never expire. Interesting that channel 249073 is reporting as working as there is no controller this end so maybe I should delete that channel and try establishing a new 'test channel' to see if I can get a new channel running and then if so reinstall previous 2 channels that I'm using to see if that makes things come good. Any further advice appreciated All fixed - problem my end - Thanks for your prompt excellent support free account

Hi, I ran out of messages and waited until the year was over. Shouldn't I be able to write again values to my channel? It still shows "You have run out of messages as of: July 15, 2019. But under "my account" free messages Expiration Date: 31 Aug 2020 and Remaining 3,000,000 is shown. I found there is a thread in the same situation: https://community.thingspeak.com/forum/thingspeak-api/you-have-run-out-of-messages/ Can someone staff can cleared the cache for me? Thanks in advance
