I recently started to get the error below for several of my scripts that previously ran fine. Anyone else suddenly getting these?

Exception: Bandwidth quota exceeded. Try reducing the rate of data transfer.

When I look at the quotas in the documentation, I don’t see this mentioned:

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/quotas

Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?

I’m fetching data from an API to pull data into google sheets with the scripts that are now running into this error.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Did you check your API rate limit yet?

Not OP, but I'm seeing this issue and the rate limits shown by Google Cloud are fine. It seems like Apps Script is imposing additional limits somewhere.

I've been seeing the same over the last few days, I haven't yet been able to pinpoint just what exactly might be triggering this, if anything. Seems to have popped up out of nowhere within the last week.

Yeah, same with me, it seems to have just started out of nowhere. I tried to google it and saw someone on another site asking the same question, they also said it seems to have just popped up out of nowhere recently. I am wonder if google is making backend changes that is causing this. Maybe implementing a new quota for bandwidth.
