Troubleshooting
Youtube API quota error "The user has exceeded the number of videos they may upload"?
The YouTube API error, "The user has exceeded the number of videos they may upload," means that your YouTube account has hit one of YouTube’s upload limits or quotas.
This could be due to:
Daily Upload Limit – YouTube enforces a cap on the number of videos an account can upload per 24 hours.
Weekly or Periodic Limits – Some accounts may have stricter limits depending on factors like age, activity, and compliance with YouTube’s policies.
Quota Limits on the API – If you’re uploading via the YouTube Data API, you may have hit your quota limit for video uploads.
Account Restrictions – New or unverified accounts may have lower upload limits.
Violation of YouTube Policies – If your account has received strikes or violations, YouTube may impose restrictions.
Solutions:
Wait and try again later – If you’ve hit the daily limit, you might just need to wait 24 hours.
Check API quota usage – If using the API, review your quota usage in the Google Cloud Console.
Verify your account – Make sure your YouTube account is verified to increase your upload limits.
Check YouTube’s official upload limits – YouTube’s limits can change, so check their official page.
