What is the storage quota for Google Contacts?

Question

Today I faced with following error - "Storage quota exceed", while creating new contact. I using Google Contacts API v3.0. I didn't find any notes about "Storage quota" or API limits at contact docs - https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/

Google contacts doesn't have any api methods for work with storage quota. I checked gmail quota for this user, and found a lot of free storage.

What does "Storage quota exceed" error mean? How we can check available storage for user? Is there any limits for Contacts creation via API?

Thanks.

Do you think it could be a possibility that you might be hitting your actual contact quota? Here is an article that explains Google Apps contacts limitations: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1146409. Can you see if it's the case for you at all?

I only had around 2,000 contacts under "my contacts", but found thousands of doublicates of contacts under "other contacts". Try looking under "other contacts" and see if you have doublicates too.
