Google Sheets daily limit

Google applies daily quotas to Apps Script services and add-ons. If you see a “daily limit reached” error, it is usually a Google quota that resets within 24 hours.

What is the Google Sheets daily limit?

Google sets quotas to ensure fair usage of its resources. Here are the typical limits:

  • Consumer accounts (free Gmail): up to 20,000 calls per day.
  • Google Workspace accounts (paid): up to 100,000 calls per day.

These limits apply to your account in a 24-hour period.

What happens when you hit the limit?

If you exceed the daily quota, you may see an error like “Google Sheets daily limit reached”. This can interrupt workflows that rely on formulas or add-ons.

What can you do?

Will my usage be deducted?

No, unsuccessful requests are not counted towards your usage.

What add-ons are using my daily quota?
