    I am getting the following error when trying to sync events from FB:

    Trying to sync events for (redacted) returned an error: Please reduce the amount of data you’re asking for, then retry your request

    Is there a way to limit the total number of records being retrieved at once?

    I’ve never before encountered this situation 🙂
    It has nothing to do with the number of events (I already use paging as advised by FB). See this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29351125/facebook-graphapi-reduce-amount-of-data-with-limit
    There’s one person there that needed to open a bug report at facebook, so you might want to do the same.
    FYI, for your bug report: I use the next php api call for a page of results:
    $response = $request->getGraphEdge(); // this gets a page of results

    I can’t really use until/since as limiters, that would potentially not solve the problem (based on number of events).

    Hi,

    I’ve tried recreating my app, the fix suggested by Franky @liedekef above, and I’m still getting the error. Facebook will not help me.

    Is there a config option I can use to reduce the number of calls manually? My site is crippled without a fix.

    Thanks!

    Facebook is very uncooperative in this regard. Many people around the workd are complaining. So you need to ask them for help/assistance. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, I’ll discontinue the plugin.

    Syncing is working again as of June 5th, 2018.

    Hi,

    Syncing seems to be accessible again, however this error is still being thrown:

    Trying to sync events for <pagetitle>Graph returned an error: Please reduce the amount of data you’re asking for, then retry your request

    Any further suggestions? Anything you can offer would be appreciated!

    Most likely a fb bug. Limits should be done automatically by their systems (I take care of looping through the pages of result). Google on the error and you’ll see … example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29351125/facebook-graphapi-reduce-amount-of-data-with-limit
    So contact FB I’d say (but don’t get your hopes up).
