What Is the Google Sheets Daily Limit?
Google sets specific quotas for using custom service to ensure fair usage of its resources. Here are the current limits:
- Consumer Accounts (e.g., free Gmail accounts): Up to 20,000 calls per day.
- Google Workspace Accounts (paid accounts): Up to 100,000 calls per day.
These limits apply to your account in a 24-hour period.
What Happens When You Hit the Limit?
If you exceed the daily quota, you may encounter error messages such as “Error: Google Sheets daily limit reached. Please try again tomorrow or contact support at support@simplemetrics.xyz for assistance.” This can disrupt your automated workflows and data updates.
What Can You Do?
Upgrade to Google Workspace: If you’re frequently hitting the limit, consider upgrading to a Google Workspace account. This provides a significantly higher quota.
Wait until tomorrow: Since this is a limit set by Google, there is not much we can do but wait.
Will My Usage Be Deducted?
No, unsuccessful requests will not be counted towards your usage.
