Google Drive Resources Exhausted

[ichilddev]

Dear Support and Community,

We have received this message recently when trying to Upload a File to Google Drive stating Error 429 . RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED.

Kindly advise how we can work around this or do we need to upgrade the google plans?

Hey @ichilddev

These are per-user restrictions that are shared by all of the user's clients, whether API clients. If these restrictions are exceeded, an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests "User-rate limit exceeded" error with a time to retry is returned. It should be noted that exceeding daily restrictions may result in these types of errors for several hours before the request is granted.

So, to avoid such situations, please use a Delay action step before the Google Drive step, which will give the ample amount of time to not give the resource exhausted error message.

Hi thanks for your prompt reply.
Do you mean that the Google Drive limits are similar or share the same with Gmail?

No, the limits for Google Drive and Gmail are distinct and unrelated. Google Drive and Gmail are two distinct Google services, each with its own set of usage limits and quotas.

The "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED" error message you received while uploading a file to Google Drive is unique to the Google Drive API, which is the API (Application Programming Interface) used to communicate with Google Drive programmatically. This issue is connected to the usage restrictions and quotas that Google Drive API has set for your project, and it is distinct from any limits or quotas that may apply to Gmail or other Google services.
