I was making a project where we use a google sheet within that write one column value to another value.
There were more than 5k+ rows in it and after some 70+value getting copied RPA threw an error, which stated that
“Write Cell: Quota exceeded for quota metric ‘Write requests’ and limit ‘Write requests per minute per user’ of service ‘sheets.googleapis.com’ for consumer ‘project_number:*************’. [429]” .

I was stuck with this issue, as this can happen if we try to write a large dataset.
This issue I tried checking this in the forum but have the solution to check with Google API.
Some of the similar issues: Gsuite Write Cell error inn spreadsheet.
As per the solution:Usage limits  |  Sheets API  |  Google Developers

According to this, the error I have got is “Write requests per minute per user” this has limitations and is fixed.
To solve this issue we either need to call some batch write type of API, range by range.
I am unaware of how to solve this issue or if can we use Batch Spreadsheet Updates Activity (https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/gsuite-batch-update-values-scope).
If so how it can help me solve this issue?
I tried using it like this

Kindly give your valuable input to solve this issue.

Hi Reshma,

I hope you are doing good!

I am facing the same issue currently and would like to know if you were able to solve it. Current understanding is that I have to enable billing and see if it allows me to write more than 60. But it happens to be pay as per go. So no clear idea on how much it would be charged.

My current solution does allow me to write more than 60 cells without any error, but it does take a pause after 60, waits till the minute is crossed and then resumes. It might be refreshing or a delay in the google sheet response or there is a bug in my code. No clue till now.

Any inputs from you will definitely help.

Regards,
SJ
