Hi all!

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their ongoing patience. It’s not lost on us how big of an impact this issue has had and we truly appreciate everyone hanging in there with us.

While a resolution is taking longer than we had initially hoped, the team is still actively working on this. At the moment, the most current update I have is that we’re still working with YouTube to get our limits lifted. In addition to this though, the team is exploring other alternatives and improvements in an effort to minimize overall quota usage.

I’ll be closing this thread now for further comments but I want to reassure everyone that this is still a top priority for us. The team will also continue to post updates here as they become available. Subscribing to this thread will be the quickest way to stay in the loop!

Please do not open new threads on this same topic.

Hey everyone! 

Thanks so much for your continued patience on this. I just wanted to follow up here to let y’all know that we’re still working with YouTube to get some of our limits lifted to stop running into these errors. We’re also currently exploring alternatives and improvements to the current YouTube app triggers to help minimize our overall quota usage.

I can’t give any timeframe as to when this will be fully resolved but we’ll be sure to notify all those affected as soon as it is.

Thanks all for your continued patience.

I wanted to come back with another update reassuring you the team is still working diligently to implement a long-term solution. Since last we chatted we are still actively working with YouTube to increase quotas. In an effort to keep usage under these limits and fair for everyone we’re also exploring implementing a per user limit. We anticipate this will only impact a very small portion of users. We’ll continue to communicate with everyone as this evolves though.

All that said, we understand the affect this has had and appreciate everyones ongoing understanding. We’ll be in touch with more updates as they're available.

Hey friends. A very belated update to advise this bug has officially been closed. 

You can check out the most current update in this topic here:

We’ll continue to monitor this moving forward but in the meantime thank you again for your patience as the team worked to find and implement a long-term solution. 

When is this issue going to be fixed? It looks to have been ongoing since Jan 2022 and its now April. We’re going to be cancelling our account if this cannot be resolved.

I am not super interested in being added to the giant list because it is obvious from this 385 message thread that every single Zapier user who uses YouTube is hitting this issue.

I am more interested in when it is going to be addressed…. when is Zapier going to increase it’s quota with YouTube. For now the only solution we all have is to set up an email rule to drop the messages

Thanks for reaching out: @dazora, @RightChoiceCA , @Johann, @alex401, @nocodeconsulting, @Musa, @calton, @Thomas99, @Blueberries, @cwattyeso, @Elf Games, @zweitbuero, @Ben, @Dr. Yoshimi Tokui, @theJoleneU, @FreddyMac 

I apologize for the delay here, you’ve all been added to the list of affected users. I really cannot thank everyone enough for your ongoing patience. I definitely appreciate the predicament it puts ya’ll in. While I don’t have an ETA to provide, I do want to assure you the team is actively working on this with our partner and that your feedback is heard. 

For any new comers who make it this far in the thread, feel free continue to let us know if you’re impacted by this bug! It helps ensure you’re getting the most timely update when there is a fix in place. Myself or my teammates will also be sure to update the thread at that time. 

Hey there @Mr Design Wolf, @JordanB, @dod and @r3it! I’ve added you all to the list of affected users as well.

I’m so sorry that workaround didn’t work as hoped. We’ll be sure to email you all as soon as this has been sorted.

Thanks for reaching out @TraderHowell and @Aleron! You’ve both been added to that report. We’ll share updates as soon as we have them! 

@christina.d I am also affected. I had to turn off the Zap for now. The quota is 10000 units per day, and it seems like Zapier does a « search » API call on every polling of YouTube, which costs 10 units. If Zapier polls Youtube every minute, then the 10000 quota gets exhausted after 17 hours of polling. Imagining YouTube resets its rate limiting at midnight PST, and since I received the quota exhausted message at 16:56 PST, it totally checks out.

Hi there, @DropFunnels, @GhostVPN, @tcaadmissions, @Ev0lve212, @3DJ and @dtblake103! Thanks for letting us know. I can confirm that you’ve all been added to the list of affected users on the bug report.    

There’s no chance of us giving up on this, @dtblake103! 

Thank you all for your continued patience while we’re still working with YouTube to get this resolved. We’ll definitely be in touch to let y’all know the moment it gets sorted.

How is this still not sorted?! It’s been over 2 months now of constant daily emails about the YouTube API quota, and zaps failing to work.

Zapier, you have paying customers who are currently getting nothing out of your service. This thread right here as almost 200 comments of customers affected, and I imagine there are thousands that haven’t bothered to look for this thread.

We pay for a service, and right now you aren’t delivering on that service. Sort it out.

Hey Guys, I have the workaround you’ve all been waiting for…

I’ve started using the RSS module to pull in new videos from YouTube, using this link as the RSS source:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=THE_CHANNEL_ID_HERE

And for playlists use:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=THE_PLAYLIST_ID_HERE

This has been working perfectly for me, so far. I really hope with the added traffic generated from sharing this won’t break this method too 🥲

Hey Zapier team, a free lifetime “Company” plan would be a great reward for solving this. . Or, better, hire me.

(Even though, to be honest, after experimenting with a bunch of other Zapier alternatives, I actually think I’m hooked on another one, that recently had a name change.)

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! 
 

Hey Everyone affected by this, Integrately.com is a REALLY great alternative until Zapier can get their stuff together. I love Zapier. I have a high tier paid plan through Zapier with my business, but this is getting ridiculous. I’ll come back to Zapier if they can get this together and fixed, but my business can’t wait for a product I pay for to work correctly.

@jd342345, @Levi the Editor, @mgu, @Mia Myriad, @cemcagatay 

@Dom WBBV, @Marinos_bruh, @AmasonOne, @zapmeclass and @richarddwalsh, @LocalLeadsExpress, @drjane​​, @raklet, @Jnegaret, @BrainlegacyTech, and @zapmeclass

This is affecting us, and causing a real headache. Any workarounds that people have found, or any updates on ETA for a fix?

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!! 
 

The assurances that this is a top priority are wearing thin since it’s been weeks. There are no updates, just closing comments on threads. 

What’s going on? What are some proposed workarounds? Are you just hoping people will keep paying for Zapier and ignore this huge problem?

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.
 

Thank you @SamB 

@SamB add me to the bug report. This is frustrating as YouTube is a part of our publishing pipeline. Anytime the YouTube upload fails with this error it makes everything else after it fail. How is there not a fix yet?

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.

Thanks for letting us know @Hilario, @joelheath24, and @Justice4me!

I’ve got all of you added to the list of impacted users. We’ll be in touch as soon as we know more. 

Thanks so much for reaching out to let us know you’re also being affected here, @Rommiee, @Ayyj, @Gabbie Harris, @Grace Temple SDA Church, @SierraEcoXray, @Leon, @User47635, @bourbonpursuit, @jsonp80, @TalkinFight and @OlegMich.

We’re still working on getting the quota limits increased. Once that’s been sorted it should get rid of the errors y’all are running into here. I’m really sorry I don’t have better news to share with you right now. I don’t have any details as to when YouTube will be increasing the shared quota limits but we’ll definitely be sure to notify you all by email (and will update this thread) as soon as its done!

@christina.d I also am seeing the error.
