How to request a quota increase
Google Business Profile APIs have default quota limits which are documented below. When you reach the quota limit, you can request a quota increase by submitting a Standard quota request form.
When you submit the form, you will be asked to provide the following information:- Company name and contact email
- Your project number
- Justification for the quota increase request
After you submit the form, the Google Business Profile team will review your request and determine whether the quota increase is appropriate. If the request is approved, the quota will be increased. If the request is denied, the Google Business Profile team will provide a reason for the denial.
The following sections outline quota limits specific to various GBP APIs.

Best Practices
To avoid quota issues, we recommend the following best practices:
- Avoid sending requests in quick succession. Spread out your requests over time.
- Use exponential backoff when retrying requests.
- Use a caching layer to reduce the number of requests you send.
- Use Batch methods where applicable.
