What is the rate limit for Youtube video publishing per user?

[avinash hegde]

I am implementing Youtube video publishing by referring below link.

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/uploading_a_video

I could upload the video successfully. But after publishing few videos its showing quota exceeded.

Below document says we can make 10,000 units per day and each video upload costs 1600 units. As per this calculation we can publish up to 6 videos per day. Is this quota is per app or per user? Looks like this quota is for app. We have tried to publish the video to different channel but its showing quota exceeded.

We have many authenticated users in our application. 6 videos per day is not at all sufficient. Is my understanding is correct or I have to request for additional quota.

Thanks.

Indeed, there are 10000 quota units available per day, and a video upload uses 1600 units, so your understanding is correct. This quota is per project, not per user. It depends what you mean by user. Someone using YouTube directly can upload videos as desired.
