Understanding quota restrictions for Google Analytics Management API data uploads

Other Questions Google Analytics

I’m working with the Google Analytics Management API for uploading data to my analytics account. The problem I’m facing is that I keep hitting some kind of daily limit after making around 50 upload requests per day.

When I check my Google Cloud Console quota dashboard, I can’t find any specific information about these upload limits. The error message I get just says “Quota limit exceeded” which doesn’t help me understand what exactly is being limited.

I need to upload small batches of data regularly but this restriction is blocking my workflow. Has anyone figured out where these upload quotas are displayed in the console? I want to monitor my usage properly and understand what limits I’m working with.

Is there a way to see the actual quota consumption somewhere or get more detailed error messages that explain which specific limit was reached?

The Google Analytics Management API has its upload quotas located in the API-specific section of the Google Cloud Console, rather than the main dashboard. I encountered a similar issue recently, and it’s true that Google does not clearly display these limits in the standard view. To find out the quota details, navigate to ‘APIs & Services’, select your specific Analytics API, and view the quota information there. Typically, the daily upload limit ranges from 50 to 100 requests depending on your account type, though it might not be clearly labeled. Enabling detailed API logging in Cloud Logging proved to be beneficial for me as it provides clearer error messages indicating the specific quota exceeded. Additionally, reviewing the API usage charts in the Console’s metrics may reveal data that is otherwise hard to find.
