Error 429 for Google Sheets API

Dear,

I am receiving error 429 intermittently when form submissions from WP Forms are written to the linked Google Sheets.

Here is the error:

23 April 2025 08:29:03 PHP 8.3.11 {<br /> "error": {<br /> "code": 429,<br /> "message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'sheets.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:<project NR>'.",<br /> "errors": [<br /> {<br /> "message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Read requests' and limit 'Read requests per minute' of service 'sheets.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:<project NR>'.",<br /> "domain": "global",<br /> "reason": "rateLimitExceeded"<br /> }<br /> ],<br /> "status": "RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED",<br /> "details": [<br /> {<br /> "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",<br /> "reason": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",<br /> "domain": "googleapis.com",<br /> "metadata": {<br /> "quota_limit": "ReadRequestsPerMinutePerProject",<br /> "service": "sheets.googleapis.com",<br /> "consumer": "projects/project NR",<br /> "quota_location": "global",<br /> "quota_metric": "sheets.googleapis.com/read_requests",<br /> "quota_limit_value": "300"<br /> }<br /> },<br /> {<br /> "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.Help",<br /> "links": [<br /> {<br /> "description": "Request a higher quota limit.",<br /> "url": "https://cloud.google.com/docs/quotas/help/request_increase"<br /> }<br /> ]<br /> }<br /> ]<br /> }<br /> }<br /> <br />

The API is only triggered once or twice a day, so I’m really confused that the plugin is hitting read requests per minute limit. But it is only doing so intermittently – some entries go through without problem, but more often than not I get this error.

How is the plugin generating these read requests, and is there something on my side I can do to decrease the amount of read requests?
