# Rate limit issues (GPT for Sheets – Autosheet)

## Service invoked too many times

**Problem**: Google reports that a service quota has been exceeded. Check the service named in the full error message. If it refers to daily URL Fetch calls, the [documented quotas](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/quotas) are:

- Consumer accounts, such as gmail.com: 20,000 calls per day
- Google Workspace accounts: 100,000 calls per day

These quotas apply per user across scripts and add-ons. Google can change them, and trial accounts can have additional restrictions. A short-term rate-limit error or a quota for a different service needs different troubleshooting.

> **Solution**
>
> - For a daily quota, wait for it to reset. Google documents the reset as 24 hours after the first request, rather than at a fixed midnight boundary.
> - For a Google Sheets custom-function URL Fetch quota, try [bulk tools](https://autosheet.com/docs/gpt-for-sheets/bulk-tools), which do not run as custom functions. Other limits can still apply.
> - [GPT for Excel – Autosheet](https://autosheet.com/docs/gpt-for-excel) functions do not use Google Apps Script quotas. Other limits can still apply.

## Token limit is reached

**Problem:** Your AI provider reports that you have reached a token limit, such as tokens per minute or per day.

> **Solutions**
>
> - Wait until the token limit resets. The reset time depends on the quota you reached; check the provider's error message or usage dashboard. A different model may have a separate quota.
> - Alternatively, use [built-in models](https://autosheet.com/docs/resources/models/ai-providers-and-models), which do not require your own API key. Other limits can still apply.
