I'm trying to use the Google Photos API to incrementally upload a very large local photo library.
Everything was working, but after uploading about 1.2GB the requests started being rejected with the following message:
Insufficient tokens for quota 'photoslibrary.googleapis.com/total_upload_bytes' and limit 'UploadBytesPerDay' of service 'photoslibrary.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:XXXXXXXXXXXX'
I checked my Photos Library API quota in the IAM & admin section of the Google Cloud Console and I've only used 80 out of 10,000 daily requests.
I have enough available storage space in Google Photos/Drive and the attempted uploads are fairly small (~5MB).
I'm not seeing anything in the limits and quotes section of the API docs. Does anyone have any idea what might be blocking my requests?
Google has finally fixed this issue via bugtracker #115932469. The Photos API now works as expected.
