Quotas protect Google's infrastructure from automated processes that use the Campaign Manager 360 API in an inappropriate way. They ensure that one developer's actions cannot negatively impact the larger community.
Quota limits
The following default quota limits are shared by all Campaign Manager 360 API resources and methods.
- 50,000 requests per project per day - can be increased.
- 1 query per second (QPS) per project.
- In the Google API Console this quota is referred to as Queries per minute per user, and is set to 60 by default. This limit can be increased as needed, up to a maximum of 600 (10 QPS).
Report Builder enforces additional quota limits that vary by account. To learn more, refer to this help center article and the table below.
Exceeding quota limits
In the unlikely event that your request fails due to exceeding a quota limit, the API returns an HTTP status code and reason for the error. Additionally, the body of the response contains a detailed description of what caused the error. See the Error Messages guide for an example error response.
The following list shows the possible errors and recommended actions for request failures caused by exceeding quota limits.
| Code | Reason | Message | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 403 | dailyLimitExceeded | Daily Limit Exceeded | Do not retry without fixing the problem. Examine your usage from the Google API Console and modify your workflow to make fewer requests. You can request additional quota if you believe your usage is reasonable. |
