Rate quotas
When you use the Google Cloud CLI or the Google Cloud console , you're also making requests to the API, and these requests count towards your rate quota. If you use service accounts to access the API, that also counts towards your quota.
Quotas are enforced at intervals of every 60 seconds. That means that if you reach a specific limit anytime within 60 seconds, you need to wait for your quota bucket to refresh to make more requests.

Manage request and allocation quotas
To manage the request and allocation quotas for your project, do the following:
- Follow the best practices for preserving API rate limits .
-
Use the Google Cloud console to view and edit rate quotas:
- If you want to lower rate quotas, see Capping usage .
- If you need higher rate quotas than the default maximum, request a quota adjustment . In your request, add information showing the consumption rate in your environment. These include VM Manager audit logs or other error messages stating that the rate limit is exceeded. It's also useful to include information such as future growth plans, region or zone spread, and any additional requirements or dependencies.
