API hits 10k limit. No idea if this is legit or a problem

[wasserman]

Describe the bug
I have a directory with about 500 folders/albums with about 40k photos total. After uploading for about 1 hour it hits the 10k limit.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create directory with 500k folders with lots of photos spread across.
2. Inject debug for extra visibility at

   gphotos-uploader-cli/internal/cmd/push.go

   Line 109 in b546516

   albumId, err := getOrCreateAlbum(ctx, photosService.Albums, albumName)

3. Eventually see something like this:

info]   Queueing folder AlbumX with 7 files.
[fail] X Unable to create album 'AlbumX': Post "https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums?alt=json": POST https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums?alt=json giving up after 5 attempt(s)
[info]   Queueing folder AlbumY with 57 files.
[fail] X Unable to create album 'AlbumY': Post "https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums?alt=json": POST https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums?alt=json giving up after 5 attempt(s)

Many folders were created that are empty on my Google Photos account.

Expected behavior
Failure and bailing with photos uploaded? Understanding of what partially succeeded to know if I should continue my attempts regularly and will eventually complete the upload.

Screenshots

Desktop & Client versions (please complete the following information):

• Operating System: Ubuntu 21.10 under Windows 10 WSL
• Version: Reports v0.0.0, but I compiled in a debug line. Was cloned from master recently using https://gphotosuploader.github.io/gphotos-uploader-cli/#/getting-started?id=compiling-from-source

Additional context
Using config with CreateAlbums: folderPath

Bump. I was hoping to use this tool to bulk upload to my account from Linux. Thanks!

Hi @wasserman

Sorry for the delay to answer you, the notification was left behind after a laptop replacement...

Your question is documented here. You can retry the gphotos-uploader-cli after the quota limitation of ~24 hours. This is a rate limitation imposed by Google.
