Why is Google API Blocking Requests for Creating Files on Google Drive Due to Suspected Automated Queries?

Interesting. I wonder if someone else on the PD OAuth client was hammering their API. I can look into that later.

I faced the same problem today, yesterday it was working normally

I have again the same issue here, since 9am Paris time :

Error

Here is the status response from Google
status: 429,
statusText: ‘Too Many Requests’,

I have the issue even if I do 1 request per hour …

Same here

I even tried to use a python code instead of the step directly and i still facing this problem

Mark and Benjamin, what where you trying to do with the Google Drive API?

I am trying to upload a PDF file in a Google Drive directory

It seems to be an incident from Google Drive — I’m actively monitoring the issue and will report when it gets resolved

Looks like it recovered! Will still monitor

Yes, its back as normal, thank you

Hi , I think the problem has come back again

But its looks like we are not the only ones having this problem,

thanks for sharing that URL!

Looks like it’s back online, can you confirm?

Yes it’s does, thank you!

Maybe the main problem is from the google drive api side?

Nice, thanks for confirming!
Yes, unfortunately Google has not reported any outages…

Thank you for the update - I switch to AWS S3 in the meantime as all my executions were failing

Good call — looks like there was an outage from 2024-10-03T04:13:11 to 2024-10-03T06:13:08
