about RateExceededError

[Chen Roger]

Hello google API team,

I want to ask about RateExceededError

I often get this message.

RateExceededError <rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateKey=null, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30

Even though I have been in action for 30 seconds, I still get an error.

Hi,

According to this guide, the error you are encountering occurs if the same application makes a high number of requests per second on a single Google Ads account managed by a manager account, the AdWords API Server may return a RateExceededError for exceeding rate limit within the Account scope. This could happen, for example, if your client application spawned multiple threads to perform an excess number of mutate() operations against a single Google Ads account.

You could slow down your requests and retry after a few hours before proceeding. If you still encounter this error, kindly provide the complete SOAP request and response logs via Reply privately to author.
