Do n8n.cloud users share Google Sheets quota?

Questions
1

It’s my first question on the forum. If I seem stupid, my apology.

I use n8n.cloud. I notice lately my workflow with Google Sheets node more and more often ran into the error “The service is receiving too many requests from you” as below. Even for one single execution within 10 minute. It never happened before until recently. The project number mentioned 498586711441 here is not created by me, and my own project in Google Cloud console showed no usage at all. I guess somehow n8n.cloud users share the 1k/minute quota. Am I right?

What is the error message (if any)?

{ "error": { "code": 429, "message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'sheets.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:498586711441'.", "status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED", "details": [ { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo", "reason": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED", "domain": "googleapis.com", "metadata": { "service": "sheets.googleapis.com", "quota_metric": "sheets.googleapis.com/read_requests", "quota_location": "global", "quota_limit_value": "1000", "consumer": "projects/498586711441", "quota_limit": "ReadRequestsPerMinutePerProject" } }, { "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.Help", "links": [ { "description": "Request a higher quota limit.", "url": "https://cloud.google.com/docs/quotas/help/request_increase" } ] } ] } }

Hi @xzmr

Not stupid at all! We noticed this issue and are already working on a fix.

It should get back to normal soon.

Hi thanks for the update! Looking forward to the fix.
Perhaps allowing n8n.cloud users use their own API credentials (via Google Cloud Console) is a not-bad idea, so that everyone uses their own quota.

hi all! this should now be resolved :slight_smile: let us know if not

After 1 week testing, “Quota exceeded for quota metric” doesn’t happen that often. It was almost every run, now it’s once in a while.
