What is the daily file sharing limit in the google cloud API and how do I raise it? - google-drive-api

Question

I get this error:
{'errors': [{'domain': 'usageLimits', 'reason': 'userRateLimitExceeded', 'message': 'Rate limit exceeded. User message: "Sorry, you have exceeded your sharing quota."', 'locationType': 'other', 'location': 'user.sharing'}], 'code': 403, 'message': 'Rate limit exceeded. User message: "Sorry, you have exceeded your sharing quota."'}
But I can't see this limit in the cloud console. It seems like the daily limit is 100 files, but I need to raise it for my application.

Answer 1

1. Check the quotas
Confirm what's the specific API you're calling and monitor it
2. Limits are by request not by files
You have a limit of 10,000 every 100 seconds per project per user, so it's likely you're making a lot of requests in a short period of time
3. Implement exponential backoff
An exponential backoff algorithm retries requests exponentially, increasing the waiting time between retries up to a maximum backoff time
4. If all of the above is already checked, request an increase
Go to the Cloud Console and sign in as a Google Workspace super administrator.
From the Project list, select the project you're using for the migration.
On the left, click IAM & admin > Quotas.
Using the checkboxes, select one or more quotas to edit, then click Edit Quotas.
Note: Billing must be enabled on the project in order to click the checkboxes.
In the Edit Quotas panel on the right, complete the form with your Name, Email, and Phone details, then click Next.
In the Edit Quotas panel, select the service to expand the view, then edit the quotas in that service to your requested limit. Click Done.
Click Submit request.
