Many data sources have limits on how many requests an API account can make in a specific period of time. These are referred to as API request quotas or request limits.
If you reach a quota or request limit
If you see this error message, you've likely reached the API request limit for your data source:
- Daily [data source] quota exceeded, try again later.
You can monitor your license's usage and request quotas on the Supermetrics Hub. If you think you've reached a limit, you'll find more information there.
A single Supermetrics query can result in many requests to the data source API, depending on the selected metrics and dimensions. This means that you can reach a quota limit with only a few queries.
How to fix this
If any of your data source quotas reach their limit, reduce your request size to something that's below your data source's limit. We recommend that you:
- Shorten date ranges
- Remove unnecessary fields
- Use fewer accounts at once
If you're using Google Sheets, you can also use the "Combine new results with old" feature to create more efficient queries.
