Inquiry Regarding View Limits on Google Docs and Google Apps Script

I am writing to inquire about certain view and usage limitations related to Google Docs and Google Apps Script, specifically regarding access restrictions or quotas.

In several instances, I encountered an error message such as

“Exception: Quota exceeded: Document”

when running scripts in Google Apps Script. I believe this issue may be related to restrictions on the number of views or access to documents via the Google Docs API or Google Apps Script.

I have a few questions related to this:

1.What are the access limitations (daily or per-minute quotas) applied to viewing and using Google Docs through Google Apps Script?

2.Is there a way to track remaining daily quota or monitor service usage for the day? If so, how can I access this information?

3.Are there quota differences between standard Google accounts and Google Workspace (paid) accounts for accessing Google Docs through Google Apps Script?

4.If I need to increase my view quota or API access through Google Apps Script, are there any recommended solutions?

5.What are the best practices for managing or optimizing the use of the Google Docs API through Google Apps Script to avoid quickly reaching the quota limits?

I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide on these restrictions, as well as suggestions for effectively managing quotas. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Actually I want a similar feature like Google Doc which can connect to SpreadSheet with Unlimited Bandwidth

There is no specific limit to viewing Google Docs text documents.

From the documentation:

Quotas are set at different levels for users of consumer (such as gmail.com) or G Suite free edition (discontinued) accounts and Google Workspace accounts. Quotas are per user and reset 24 hours after the first request.

Quota Consumer (e.g., gmail.com) Google Workspace accounts
Documents created 250 / day 1,500 / day
Files converted 2,000 / day 4,000 / day
Limits Consumer (e.g., gmail.com) Google Workspace accounts
Script runtime 6 min / execution 6 min / execution
Custom function runtime 30 sec / execution 30 sec / execution
Google Workspace Add-on runtime 30 sec / execution 30 sec / execution
Simultaneous executions per user 30 / user 30 / user
Simultaneous executions per script 1,000 1,000

See Quotas for Google Services.
