Has anyone increased their YouTube Data V3 API quota before? What's the highest quota you have been granted?

March 26, 2024 -

I've currently got 100k quota (received an increase). But I can't really scale it at the moment because costs are high for quota (e.g posting a comment is 50 unitsx20 comments day = 100 users). I'd like to know if anyone has received any quota beyond this, thanks!
