Can the Google API Rate Limiter be Increased Through a Paid Google Workspace Account?

Is there any way to increase the Google API rate limiter, possibly through own paid Google Workspace account?

That could be possible if you’re using the Google Developer app, but I’m not sure. Which rate limit are you hitting?

The file upload one:

Ah, that is related to this thread: Slack

Are you having this issue currently?

It hit the issue last night. I re-ran those failed queries, and they ran this morning (though the very 1st re-run had the same issue)

So PD is working through this with Google atm?

Or…?

This is a Google issue, people from Make are facing this as well

Got it.

Ok just wanted to be sure we didn’t hit some new levels of scale that caused us to expect this regularly. Phew!

The API has been intermittently going on and off

Sadly, it’s been the third time in these last two weeks

Ugh. Not great, Google!
