Error: Quota exceeded for quota metric - pagespeed googleapis

Question

I am running sitespeed docker container container and using config file to run multiple pages at a time. I've also scheduled it to run every hour but from the job output I am seeing the below error related to some Quote Exceeded

[2021-11-02 01:16:58] ERROR: Error: Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Queries' and limit 'Queries per minute' of service 'pagespeedonline.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:583797351490'.
    at Gaxios.<anonymous> (/gpsi/node_modules/gaxios/build/src/gaxios.js:72:27)

    at fulfilled (/gpsi/node_modules/gaxios/build/src/gaxios.js:16:58)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:95:5)

Any ides on what this could be and how can we fix this? In the coming future I would be testing around 100 pages using this and I am sure it would fail as well with this error

sitespeed.io docker container command -

docker run --shm-size=1g --rm -v "$(pwd):/sitespeed.io" $DOCKER_IMAGE --graphite.addSlugToKey true --slug shasha_test --config configs.json urls.txt

The error which I am getting is below. So it works for some pages and then fails for others. How do i check the quota here?

Answer 1

Quota is the number of requests that your application can make to an api. This is normally split up in per day or per minute quotas.

If you check your project on Google cloud console under libray. There and search for PageSpeed Insights API you have already enabled it. click manage then you come to a new screen where you will find quota on the left.

This is the limit of requests that you can make to the api per day and per minute.

You are exceding the Queries' and limit 'Queries per minute' quota which is technically flood protection your going to fast slow down your application. you can only make 240 requests a minute.
