How to Fix 'Queries per Minute' Quota Exceeded Error in Google Drive API?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

Hi, I’m a newb (to programming in general, too) - but I love the product. However, I keep getting this error:

Quota exceeded for quota metric ‘Queries’ and limit ‘Queries per minute per user’ of service ‘drive.googleapis.com’ for consumer ‘project_number:342853642011’.

Can someone please help? Do I fix this in Google or Pipedream, and how? Thanks in advance.

Hi , may I ask what specific Google Drive source/action you’re using? And what is your configuration for those source/action?

Yes, hopefully this answers your questions and thank you for replying . I have three workflows.

  1. workflow 1: monitors a google drive (personal) folder (using new files instant) for audio dictation files from my phone. Then it moves those the file to a different folder.
  2. workflow 2: montors google folder for new files (instant), downloads file to /tmp. creates transcription with whisper. summarizes, etc. with gpt4. something with node (i got htis from a youtube video) - create file from text.
  3. Workflow 3: monitor google folder for new file instant, then move the file to a different folder.

Hi , can you access your Pipedream Sources page to confirm if you have 1 Google Drive source or 3 Google Drive sources?

Some I have 4

somehow.

I think the reason is because you have 4 sources. Would you mind trying to change your workflows to reuse a single source as a trigger and delete all 3 other sources?

Yes, for sure. I didn’t make 4 intentionally. Let me try that. Thanks!

Hi it worked! Thank you so much for your help. :slightly_smiling_face:
