I created service account to consume Google Drive REST API for domain wide delegation. But from document I came to know that there are some limits API consumption such as
Number of request per day per app.
Number of requests/second/user etc.
Now my questions are
How can I find these exact numbers of my google service account?
What are default numbers for free account?
Is these numbers vary from service account and install app type applications?
Can anyone one help me please?
Each request to the Google API will be counted. You can monitor your quota details from Google Developer Console.
APIs & Auth -> APIs -> Select the API -> Navigate to Quota tab.
Currently for the Drive API it reads "Courtesy limit: 1,000,000,000 requests/day". It's a per app quota.
After you've enabled the Drive API you can also set a per user rate limit (by default 100 req/sec) to prevent one user from depleting your app's quota. That's available in the "Quotas" tab.
There is also a link to request more quota in the "Quotas" tab in case you need more than the default 1B req/day.

I have a project relay on google drive API and i hit API limits all the time.
And i need to know if google drive API limits is set per accounts or per projects?
And if it is per project, is there any limitation per account?
Thsnks
Google Drive API limits are subject to limits based on per project, per user and per time frame.
You can see your quota by creating a project in the Google Developer's Console, and from the Burger Menu (☰) menu in the top left following:
☰ > IAM & admin > Quotas
From here you can see your quotas for each service, clicking on Google Drive API will bring you to the Drive API specific page which shows you how many Queries per day, Queries per 100 seconds, and Queries per 100 seconds per user that the selected project is subject to.
The Developers console also has graphs showing your traffic and request history to all API services, so is a good place to see where you are hitting your limits and potentially reduce this where you can.
There is a batch update method of Drive which if you are making multiple requests can significantly reduce your number of requests, but as mentioned on the Google Developers blog they are deprecating this endpoint on 12th August 2020 and so API specific batch endpoints would need to be used.
I need to enable the Advanced Drive Google service in order to be able to use Google Drive API. I need it because, only with this API, can I share Google Drive files programatically without sending emails to the users.
When enabling Advanced Google services, I'm asked to agree to the Google Cloud Platform and Google APIs Terms of Service. My question is, "Do I expose my account / my company, to costs by enabling advanced Google services?" I just want to use Google Drive API to make use of one method only.
There is no cost to enabling the Google Drive API for use with Apps Script.
Use of the Google Drive API doesn't have a cost associated with it.
There are three quota limits for the Drive API, which are controlled through the Google Cloud Platform, not through Apps Script. It's highly doubtful that you'll hit those limits. The limit for Queries per day is 1 Billion. But even if you did hit a Drive API quota limit, there is no cost, the API would just stop working.
To be charged for any API, you'd need to enable billing and set up a billing account. It's good to understand the liability before making a commitment. If you ever decide to pay for a service, make sure that you know how to shut it off. There should be tools to keep track of how much of a quota that you've used.
If you hit the storage limit in your Google Drive, then you can "upgrade" to a higher storage limit, which would cost you something. Users with personal (free/consumer) accounts can pay for more Drive storage with a product named Google One.
If you have a Google Workspace account, then extra storage can be purchased also, but it's different than Google One.
There are Cloud Computing Storage products that do cost something, but they probably have a free tier.
I am familiar with the Google API Console for monitoring requests quotas, but is there an endpoint or Google API Resource that I can query for poll to get current quota usage information for an enabled API, eg, Google Drive API?
AFAIK, there is no current API endpoint to get/poll the current quota usage information. As I previously mentioned in a related SO question, receiving quota related errors would help you know that you are reaching your quota for the API and that is where your error handling will take over.
To view the quota usage, access your developer console. And you are correct, it is viewable using the console. You can also see traffic ( number of request per seconds), and error ratio of the enabled API of your project.
The Google Licensing Manager API, https://developers.google.com/google-apps/licensing/, can be used to assign Drive licenses to users in an Apps domain. How can you retrieve the amount of storage a given user is actually using and not just what their total quota is?
This can't be done in the Licensing Manager API, it only retrieves information about the actual storage licences. The amount of quota a user has actually used can be found with about call in the Drive API, documented at https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/about/get. Specifically the quotaBytesUsed property.
Is there a quota for drive api the dash sugestes 500k but is that a day or a month? can we ask for a quota increase?
Also can I use picker to select all google drive files from the external app?
The quota in the APIs Console is per day, it should actually read "500,000 queries/day".
To ask for more, just click on the "Request more..." link next to it and fill the form.
You can use the Picker to display a list of the currently authenticated user's Drive files. Check the docs at https://developers.google.com/drive/integrate-open
