API Management

Question:

Your client, once again, complains they receive a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access your API. It was working just 5 minutes ago, they claim. You look into this "urgent" problem and see no policy changes have been made, and surprise, surprise, it works on your machine(tm). How would you make client to shut up and be happy?

Call them idiots (in your head, of course) and tell them to use a different subscription key, like you've told them a hundred times
Add an ip-filter policy that allows access to your client's IP, because that's never been a problem before
The API endpoint must be faulty, so just remove it for now and debug it later, like everything else
Modify the quota policy to be more generous, because probably they have been spamming your endpoint

Answer:

A 403 Forbidden error is either an IP filter policy or an exceeded quota. Since policy rules haven't been modified, it must be a quota issue.
Note: Cursing your clients (in your mind) is a valid/invalid solution, depending on your morals.
