YouTube “The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota” error


Hi all --

I have a Zap that gets triggered when a new video appears in a playlist. Over the past 10 days I’ve received a couple of failure notification emails from Zapier that indicate

Error Message:

32 YouTube: Trigger partner failure: The app returned "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your <a href="/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota">quota</a>.".

 

Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

FWIW, the only other post on this that I’ve found is this one:

which refers you to a Google API docs, and through them, to the Google API console, which doesn’t actually show who and how quota units are being used up. Is there a way to find out how many quota units are being use by a Zap, or if not, influence the triggering somehow? My Zap only needs to run once a day, but right now the only relevant YouTube trigger options seem to be to select “When a video shows up in a playlist”.

Any suggestions would be appreciated -- thanks in advance!

Hi @Ar3m3f 

Might be best to open a ticket with Zapier Support for more guidance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hey everyone! :)

@Ar3m3f, I can see that you’ve reached out to our Support team about this and have been added to the bug report for this issue here.

@360Creators, I’ve added you to the list of affected users on that same bug report so we’ll be in touch once it’s been sorted out.

@Ambler, as mentioned in the other thread I’ve added you to the bug report for this.  

We’ll be in touch once we have any further news on this! 
 

Moderator Edit: Removed suggestion of turning the Zap off and on again as this appears to now be resulting in a “There was a problem activating your Zap” error.

Same issue for me if I can be added to list of affected users. Tried to authenticate new apps with different connections as well (one of which has never been used for API).  Also strangely having it with other automation services, so my guess is a larger YouTube/Google API issue?

Same issue for me.

I tried these workaround. But no one didn’t work.

  • off the zap and on
  • re-create connection account setting

Would you please add me to the list of affected users? @christina.d

This is because the zapier is limited to the YouTube api quota. The quota needs to be expanded. There's nothing we can do.
