Like Rushikesh i am also facing same problem, before my application start working i need to check weather i have ample of call remaining to complete my task for that i had white listed my 2-3 accounts.
so the idea that i am thinking is if the OAuth shall give me the remaining call then as per that i should switch automatically to my next white listed account without acknowledging user. Thank you in advance.
