Google has introduced a new policy to combat excessive API request abuse, imposing a 1-minute delay for IP addresses that exceed the recommended daily limit of 50 requests per second. The move aims to prevent bots and malicious actors from overloading servers with unwanted traffic.
The new policy applies to all Google Cloud Platform services, including Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, and Cloud SQL. Developers who consistently breach the request limits will face a temporary delay before their requests can be processed again.
Google’s updated policy is designed to protect its infrastructure and prevent abuse that can compromise user experience and security. The company encourages developers to review their API usage and implement responsible usage guidelines to avoid disruptions.
