Error: Rate Limit Exceeded

[starleaf1]

I encounter the following exception when I try to sync using the grive command

Same here. At least can you make it fail gracefully and repeat failed request?

I see the same issue here occasionally. For me I believe it coincides with having performed some large maintenance task on my google drive i.e. deleting thousands of files / emptying the bin via the drive web app / drive android app. https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/web/handle-errors#403_rate_limit_exceeded

[kigiri]

Same here, I delete a somewhat big folder ~3000 files of 5mb each and now the sync fail with 403 Rate Limit Exceeded

[TopherGopher]

+1 I am having this issue as well.
Here's a hypothesis (since I've seen this error writing my own GDrive playground stuff) -
When you host an integration API app in your Google Drive account, there's a rate limit that you hit eventually. It's like - 3 billion requests, but it's still there - and with everyone using Grive now and the heavy number of files, could it be that we're exhausting Grive's Google integration's API limits?
If the owner of the Grive integration went here, they could confirm (or smash) my theory. You can up the quota if so. Just a theory though.

[TopherGopher]

So I do have a workaround for folks who have a lot of files. TLDR; generate your own oauth creds and swap the default ones out, and then hack the max results in the list function to an insane number.

I changed these two lines of code and traded them out for creds I generated myself.
These creds are actually free to generate and use. Go to Google developer console, enable the Drive API, create "other" oauth creds, and then just paste them in and re-build grive.

I added a hack to make less requests happen by changing maxResults=1000 to maxResults=999999999. This obviously consumes more memory, so tune as you need. For me, I have zillions of tiny files in flat directories, so this helped enormously.

---

I ended up using a simple Dockerfile to play around with building this (since my binary is currently installed from the apt repo, and I didn't want to grab some of the dev libs), and thought I'd pass it along. Ignore if it's worthless to you.

Save this as Dockerfile in the top directory of this repo

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && \
  apt-get install --yes git cmake build-essential \
  libgcrypt11-dev libyajl-dev libboost-all-dev \
  libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev libcppunit-dev \
  binutils-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev && \
  rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives
VOLUME /data
WORKDIR /data

Build and run with: docker build -t grive2 . && docker run --name grive2 --rm -it -v $PWD:/data grive2:latest and then mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j4 to generate a new binary.

Because you're not sharing your requests with other people anymore, you aren't hitting the limits on the primary account. This also has the added benefit of you owning your own integration to your data.

[piekniewski]

@TopherGopher Cool, I did as you suggested - created the credentials, and recompiled grive2 but I seem to be getting unauthorized_client error. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?

[piekniewski]

OK, figured that out. grive will not update auth token for new credentials for previously downloaded drive. One has to create a fresh directory, get a new auth token and download everything from scratch...

[TopherGopher]

Ahhh - glad you got it. Not the best solution, but I'm working on a cleaner one.

[alanmilinovic]

This is a show stopper for me. Getting this error all the time. Fix would be appreciated.

[cserpell]

This happens to me all the time. It is really annoying. I've got aroung 60 GB in Drive, and it takes a long time to sync, but it works around a third of the times I run it. Otherwise, it gives the following error (and maybe others sometimes).

When running grive -d:

It seems @vitalif commited a fix 93cae25 that would help. Let's see what happens.
