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!

@SamB@christina.d I’m also affected by this issue, please add me to the list of affected users.


We appreciate you letting us know @Spratch and @thehunmonkgroup! You’ve been added to that list and we’ll be in touch as soon as we know more. 


You said that we have to turn off/on our zaps but this is worse as the zaps won’t turn on again !

“There was a problem activating your Zap.”

 

So please this is a HUGE problem on your side : pay your quota, or reimburse us.


Looks like everyone is having the same issue. I’m experiencing this as well. 

 

FWIW, I would not recommend turning off your Zap and trying to turn it back on. It does not reset your quota as that limit is exceeded on the Youtube side. so it is tied to whatever account you were using for that connection. 

Since the quota is daily, you should be able to come back the next day and re-enable the zap by reconnecting your youtube account. It will also automatically reset, so your next zap should go through. 

 

From my testing, it does seem to send at least 1 zap through each day and then you hit the quota on the second or sometime after sending the first. I can intermittently get videos through without modifying the zap. 


Please add me to the notification / request also. I attempted to log a support request but the page didn’t work (your data harvesting/user privacy theft tools appear to be blocked by our corporate firewall )

 

 


I have the same issue as well, @christina.d please add me to the list. 

Turning off and on does not solve the problem...


Same there, please add me to the list of affected users.
The zaps work but each morning I get en error email from Zapier.


@christina.d I am also getting the same error although I think everything is working fine but I am still getting error email form zappier. I tried turning my zap off and on but I didn’t worked at all

I am also having the same issue. Is there an update on the fix? 


I too am also having the exact same issue so would like to be updated when there is a fix. Thanks


@christina.d please add me to the list as well, this is crazy that your troubleshooting steps actually make it worse… what is the current status? Why are there no updates yet?


@christina.d  please add me to the list of users affected as well.  


Can confirm. We have been seeing the same error as well for some time this month. 


I’ve been experiencing the same issue too since the 15th January.


@christina.d I have turned the zaps off, when I go to turn on I get that error as well. Please add me to the list.

Thank you.

Thanks for flagging this @ChrisM and @Masaki. I’ve updated my initial response to remove the suggestion of turning the Zap off and on again.
