Hi
I frequently encounter the Error Code 429 with error message : "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'API Queries' and limit 'API Queries per minute per user' of service 'dfareporting.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:". 

I have some questions regarding this : 

1. In this error, what does the "user" refer to : Is it me as an api user OR is it the DCM account holders who has authorised me to perform actions on their behalf.

2. I tried passing quotaUser query parameter with random Value but I still encounter same error. Is there another way to solve this problem


Regards
Yogendra

Hi Yogendra,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please see my comments inline below:



1. In this error, what does the "user" refer to : Is it me as an api user OR is it the DCM account holders who has authorised me to perform actions on their behalf.

- The “user” refers to the API user who is making the request queries, not the account.

2. I tried passing quotaUser query parameter with random Value but I still encounter same error. Is there another way to solve this problem.

- Another way to solve this issue is by requesting for an increase of the quota limit. You can do this by filling out this form. Someone from the team will review the request form and API usage.

Let me know if you have further questions or clarifications.

Thanks for your reply.

If "user" refers to API user making requests then how can I add another user without changing OAuth clientI Id?

I tried requesting for increasing the quota but I was told that it is not possible to increase this limit of queries per minute

Hi Yogendra,

Thank you for your response. For clarity, I just wanted to get more information regarding your queries. Please see my comments inline below:

If "user" refers to API user making requests then how can I add another user without changing OAuth clientId?

  • Are you referring to specific token credentials?


I tried requesting for increasing the quota but I was told that it is not possible to increase this limit of queries per minute

  • Is this for the 1 query per second (QPS) per project?

Hi Sherwin,

Here's the information you wanted:

Are you referring to specific token credentials?
  • yes I'm referring to token credentials, I have created a OAuth credential on google developer console. If I am getting authorisation from multiple dcm account holders how do I make sure that I can make API requests on behalf of both these users simultaneously without either of them affecting other's request because of hitting API limit per minute.
Is this for 1 query per Second per Project
  • I can see there are two limits in the developer console 
    • API Queries per day  -> This one was increased
    • API Queries per minute per user ->  I was told this cannot be upgraded, but I want to increase this

Yogendra

Hi Yogendra,

Thank you for your clarification. As per checking, I'm afraid that both of your inquiries are out of scope to our team. Since this is more on Google API Console, we would recommend reaching out to Google console team. The technical specialist there would be able to shed light and provide a better insight into your concern.
