request size limit exceeded on sitelinks only

[Francesco Della Vedova]

Hi all, I started to see 'REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED' on sitelinks recently, and I'm not sure what's due to.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Header><ResponseHeader xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201601">
<requestId>00053061fa7ab9080ac11e56ec08cac2</requestId>

<operations>1620</operations>
<responseTime>196</responseTime>
</ResponseHeader></soap:Header><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode><faultstring>[SizeLimitError.REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED @ operations]</faultstring><detail><ApiExceptionFault xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201601"><message>[SizeLimitError.REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED @ operations]</message><ApplicationException.Type>ApiException</ApplicationException.Type><errors xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="SizeLimitError"><fieldPath>operations</fieldPath><trigger></trigger><errorString>SizeLimitError.REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED</errorString><ApiError.Type>SizeLimitError</ApiError.Type><reason>REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED</reason></errors></ApiExceptionFault></detail></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

From what I can see there are 1620 operations in the request, far below the limit (5000) and below the suggested number of operations (2000). And it's only happening with sitelinks.

Hello,

The limit for extension setting services is 250 operations per request, which is smaller than the normal limit of 5000. Please use under 250 operations per request and let me know if that works.

Hi Michael,

thanks for your prompt reply. I'll change the limit to fix the problem. Is this limit documented anywhere?

[Michael Cloonan (AdWords API Team)]

Hello,

It is not yet, but I am working on getting it documented since I realized it was missing when I was looking into what the problem was due to your report. We will hopefully be able to publish the updated documentation soon.

Is this limit still valid / documented somewhere?

Hello,

The limit does still apply. For some reason updating the documentation stalled for quite a long time, so I've begun a new effort to get it published. Thanks for bringing this back to my attention.
