I'm developing a personal-use app that's using the YouTube Data API v3 for a number of operations, including creating live streams/broadcasts, creating playlists, etc. My app status is Testing with myself added as a test user. Until yesterday, I haven't had any issues with this.
Yesterday, when developing some new features and testing, I started hitting quota limits. Specifically, Error 403: User requests exceed the rate limit, userRequestsExceedRateLimit.
I can't figure out how to see the user requests quota that I'm exceeding. I went to manage the YouTube Data API v3 and clicked on the Quotas tab, and only see 3 quotas:
Queries per day - 60% usage (10k limit)
Queries per minute - 0% usage (1.8M limit)
Queries per minute per user - "Per-user quota usage is not displayed" (180k limit)
I don't see any per user quotas other than the per minute, and I'm certainly not doing anywhere near 180k queries per minute, else I'd have vastly exceeded the daily query limit, which I haven't.
I can't find anywhere else to see this user limit I'm hitting. This started last night, I left it alone and it's still happening today (today my queries per day usage is 0%). I'm assuming (hoping) as it hasn't been quite 24 hours yet that the quota will start freeing up once I hit that 24-hour mark, but I'd still like to know how to view this so I can keep an eye on it.
Interestingly, I used another Google account to generate new oauth id/secret pair and oauth'd into the same YouTube account and received the same error. So it seems as though the limit is based on the YouTube account authorizing the app, not on the oauth id/secret pair. But I still don't know where/how to view those limits.
