}Rate limit error when exporting designs
Design Export API allows 10 requests per 10 seconds. Wait for time window to reset before retrying. Implement request queuing with 1-second delays between exports to stay within limits.
Authentication fails with 401 signature verification error
Verify your OAuth 2.0 implementation ensures tokens refresh correctly. Check that access token hasn't expired and regenerate from Canva Developer Console if needed.
Cannot add elements to design - hitting rate limit
Native Element API allows 20 requests per 10 seconds. Batch element additions where possible and add 500ms delays between individual add operations to avoid throttling.
Designs not accessible or permission denied errors
Verify your Canva Pro subscription is active and your account has proper team permissions. Check OAuth scope includes design read/write access and re-authenticate if necessary.
