Youtube API Rate limits

I randomly started getting rate limited on youtube API calls starting yesterday, which considering my request per minute, makes no sense as im not even close to exceeding. Is there any chance this is pythonanywhere related?

Are you using authenticated requests tied to your Google Cloud project? If yes, I'd check exact errors you're getting and compare to the docs; if no, it is possible that the IP of the shared server you're sending the requests from is being rate limited.

I am, I'll paste the error below, it's more likely something changed recently on the google side, im not even doing that many requests, i'm working on how much i need to space them out. Thanks for the check

Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Search Queries' and limit 'Search Queries per minute' of service

I have 20k daily quota and 1.8 million requests per minute lol and only running like 100 requests so im confused by still investigating

Right, it looks like it's something on the Google side.
