Hello there,

we are calling bulk operation and hitting this error

Error: 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: received trailing metadata size exceeds limit

we are confused about what is the cause of this error. we are able to send the same payload and sometimes it is successful and sometimes it hits this error

Is this error due to some kind of time-based quate?

here is our request-id for your further investigation: "request-id": "QnlyRmHmGdDHMd8qm-RA9g"

Hi Afsane,

Thank you for reaching out. The RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error occurs when you send too many requests in a short period of time. I suggest setting up short delays between requests or combine more operations in fewer requests. You can refer to the Best practices guide for ways you can optimize the efficiency and performance of your requests.

If you continue to experience issues after implementing some of the best practices, please provide the complete detailed request and response logs so that I can take a closer look. If providing this information, please ensure that you "Reply privately to author."

Danica, Google Ads API Team
