Googleapi: Error 403: User Rate Limit Exceeded

February 4, 2022 - Do you or your org have other apps connecting to Gmail that might be causing a rate limit to be exceeded? It’s possible we do but invisibly to me. I’ve escalated a request the the team who has administrator privileges to verify. ... My thought was that if there’s high usage amongst users on edx.org G Suite, that might be the reason that you’re hitting the rate limit. So when you try to connect to Google, they check across the org and see that, then throw that error message.

API Rate Limit Exceeded: Causes, Fixes, and Best Practices
When you exceed an API rate limit, your requests stop going through, and you’ll usually see an error like “429 Too Many Requests.” The block lifts once the limit refreshes, and you can send new requests again. APIs from large platforms like Twitter (X), GitHub, and Google are known for having strict rate limits.

Issue with Google Docs API: "(403) User rate limit ...
June 2, 2025 -

Hey all, I’ve been facing a persistent issue using the Google Docs API through Make and I’m hoping someone else has been through this.

  • Last Friday (3 days ago), my scenario failed with the error [403] User rate limit exceeded.

  • It uses the “Create Document from Template” module, which replaces some placeholders (e.g. {{refNo}}, {{name}}, etc.). The document is automatically saved in Google Drive.

  • The scenario ran twice – The first run was successful, but the second run encountered the error [403] User rate limit exceeded.

  • I waited for the entire weekend without running anything in hopes of any relevant quotas imposed by Google being refreshed over time.

I did a simple test scenario today (Monday) and it still throws the same error [403] User rate limit exceeded when I do anything involving Google Docs (Create Document, Get Content, Download file, etc.). I can use the Google Sheets modules and Google Drive modules (except download a Google Doc) without any errors. I also checked the Google Cloud Platform quotas section, but:

  • I didn’t see anything that looked like I exceeded any limits (everything is at 0% usage),

  • … or maybe I just don’t know where to look as I am not very familiar with GCP.

Could my account have been silently throttled, or is there something else I might have missed? Any help or experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit:
I tried looking at the API page but it shows that my usage is at 0%.

(Although I'm not sure if this is the correct page)

I have already upgraded my account to Tier 1 and have successfully connected it to an active billing account. My understanding is that upgrading should provide higher usage limits compared to the free tier.
