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

A
Userlevel 3

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 @YH_junyi and @bobiko, thanks for reaching out here. There’s still no ETA but you’re both on the list so we’ll definitely be in touch with an update as soon as it’s sorted.

I don’t think this will be fixed soon, now it has been more than 3 months, and no action has been taken.
this is not rocket science guys, all you need to do is talk with google and get it resolved.

Can you release a version of the Youtube integration so that we can use our own keys?

 

This issue has been going on for months now and it’s seriously impacting our workflows. We’re considering for Zapier alternatives.

I have been having this issue now for over a month. 

Our Zap is meant to upload a video to youtube when there’s a new video in google Drive. 

We get “The app returned "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your <a href="/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota">quota</a>.".”

Please fix this issue soon!!

Support won’t help me because I didn’t develop the Zap for “Ad Viddy”

Hi there, @LocalLeadsExpress, @drjane​​, @raklet, @Jnegaret, @BrainlegacyTech, and @zapmeclass. I’ve gone ahead and added everyone who wasn’t previously on the list of impacted users. Rest assured, the team is continuing to work on this and we’ll keep you updated once we know more!

We have upgraded to a more expensive plan to automate retries on failed tasks but it didn’t help either. We got stuck in this state and there’s no other way than downloading/uploading manually.

Same issue here. Please add me to the bug list for notifications. Thanks!

Hi, lots of people with lots of complaints about this - however the issue has been ongoing for over 1mth now. 

Where exactly are Zapier up to with fixing this? What updates regarding this issue can be shared?

This is critical to us, and unfortunately, we feel like we have no choice but to find another provider as it doesn’t seem like any sort of fix is coming...
