Lots of failure

[marcelolaia]

I am got in a lot of failure like this:

ERROR FAILURE 78 downloading photos/2017/01/FB_IMG_1483387168536.jpg - 429 Client Error: Too Many Requests for url: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com

This is expected, or this is a problem? If it is an issue, have you any clue to bypass it?

:~$ gphotos-sync --version
3.2.5
:~$ 

Thank you so much!

Hi @marcelolaia this means that you have exceeded your Google API calls quota.

If you wait for a day or probably less and run again you should find it completes OK.

I now have a fast enough connection (1Gbit) to see this issue if I do a fresh sync of my photos library - so I have some incentive to see if I can get the call backoff working - but there are some API quotas that only reset every 24 hours AFAIR. This makes it less appealing to fix in the code.

You can look at the quota limits here: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/photoslibrary.googleapis.com/quotas (make sure you switch to the right project)

As far as I can see in my project, both quotas are daily, so I don't think rate-limiting makes a lot of sense unless people prefer having the process run for days...
