The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota

[feacluster]

Been using youtube-uploader for almost a year without any issues. All of a sudden I keep getting this error:

The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota

I am only uploading one video per day which is far below the 5/day limit.

When I login to console.cloud.google.com and look at the YouTube Data API v3, I see some strange stuff.

I click on Quotas and do not see anything about the 10,000 units per day. I just see:

Queries per day | 0 |  
Queries per minute per user | 180,000 |  
Queries per minute | 1,800,000 |  

Then I see a graph of Quota exceeded errors count (3 hr) - Queries per day and I can see a few spikes over a few days. Not sure what is causing the error. I am tempted to just delete the API and create new credentials. But am hoping for some better solution than this nuclear option!

Did some research and seems the issue is explained here:

Not looking forward to verifying the app as it seems to involve countless steps and require your own secure domain name.

I have started the Verification process and it is a royal pain in the you know what. The folks at YouTube make no effort to understand what your app does or how it works. They just reply back with tons of copy/pasted information from their FAQs. To make matters worse they think they are dealing with a large organization that understands all the nuances of what they need. They don't realize "Mom and Pop" businesses don't have a fleet of IT staff to respond to their technobabble. So annoying.. Will keep folks here posted how it ends up.

Did you have any luck with getting your App verified? -Thanks

I kind of gave up after getting frustrated with all the back and forth. I found a workaround using another Youtube account I had.

I think the confusing part is how to show them that your app is only used by you, the owner of the channel. All the info. on their site seems to think that users will be using the app.

您有通过应用验证的运气吗？-谢谢

在来回经历挫折之后，我有点放弃了。我找到了使用我拥有的另一个Youtube帐户的解决方法。

我认为令人困惑的部分是如何向他们展示您的应用仅由您（频道的所有者）使用。所有信息。他们网站上的用户似乎认为用户会使用该应用。

how?

This is not the limitation of the channel, but the Project in google console - for different projects, there are different quotas.

Currently i'm facing this issue. I can upload a video the manual way. But when I try with the program(having uploaded 5 via the program) I get the error

C:\blah>youtube-upload "myvideo.mp4" --title="asdf" 
Using client secrets: C:\Users\User\.client_secrets.json
Using credentials file: C:\Users\User\.youtube-upload-credentials.json
Start upload: myvideo.mp4
[RequestError] Server response: {

    "message": "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your \u003ca href=\"/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota\"\u003equota

        "domain": "youtube.quota",
        "reason": "quotaExceeded"
      }
    ]
  }
}

C:\blah>

I have not yet tried verifying the app (so e.g. even when I wasn't getting that quora message and was uploading, I would get the privacy lock message)

pvalena, you write "This is not the limitation of the channel, but the Project in google console - for different projects, there are different quotas."

Can you elaborate. Where if anywhere is the option to change this?

Thanks.

Infact, I notice it looks like maybe the same form for getting an app audited, is the form used to ask for a quota to be extended. https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form

From my experience, it doesn't work anymore, as google requries all projects to have an audit first.
