When linking your Interactive Brokers account to Plutus, you may encounter the message FA exceeds limit of clients. This is a generic error used by Interactive Brokers when a linkage request cannot be processed due to account configuration issues.
To resolve this, please verify the following settings in your Interactive Brokers account:
Account Plan (PRO vs. Lite) : Confirm that your account is set to IBKR Pro. This error frequently occurs if your account is currently on the IBKR Lite plan, which does not support professional advisor linking.
Trading Permissions: Ensure that your trading permissions are active and consistent with the strategies you intend to follow. Missing permissions for specific asset classes can prevent a successful connection.
Country Eligibility: Verify that your account is domiciled in a country currently supported by Plutus. This error is a common default message when attempting to link from an unsupported jurisdiction.
If you have confirmed these settings and the issue persists, please reach out to our team via chat or at hello@runplutus.com for further assistance.
