API quota limit reached when uploading to YouTube

I’m trying to upload a video to YouTube using their Data API v3 but I keep getting a ‘quotas exceeded’ error. This is weird because I haven’t successfully uploaded any videos yet. Here’s what I’m sending to the API:

POST /upload/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet,status
Authorization: Bearer MyAccessToken
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

And here’s the error I’m getting:

{
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "youtube.quota",
        "reason": "quotaExceeded",
        "message": "Quota limit reached. Cannot complete request."
      }
    ],
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Quota limit reached. Cannot complete request."
  }
}

Does anyone know how to fix this or who I can contact for help? It’s frustrating not being able to upload anything at all. Thanks!

i ran into this too. youtube imposes daily quota on even failed requests, so waiting a day might fix it. also, check that ur api key isn’t being misused. hope that helps!
