403 Rate Limited Google Drive/Docs API

I have a very simple scenario where new orders are placed on my website and then a Google Doc is created from a template. Once in a while my scenario will get an error:

[403] User rate limit exceeded.

It looks like this error is to prevent flooding the API with requests, but I am certainly not making that many API calls, let alone multiple per second. I tried looking in my Google Cloud Console and can’t see any history of the API calls or why it is rate limiting. Any ideas?

How does your scenario look like? Are any other scenarios using the Google Drive integration?

No, this is the only scenario. I am not sure what is causing the issue only sometimes.

I think new accounts may have a 10 or 20 requests per second rate limit.

Could you check your quota in Google Cloud Platform?

How fast are the new orders coming in?

That’s what I’m saying, we might get 10 orders a day, but nothing near 10 per second. Seems like the rate limit is being triggered by something else. Has been fine for a day now, so not sure what triggers it.
