Google Drive (upload a File) Runtime Error 429

I have been running a scenario successfully for over a year to track incoming calls and voicemails that I get email notifications for. Pretty simple, every 15 minutes it checks my email, if there is an email from Kall8 it grabs the attachment if there is one and drops it in a google drive. Then it logs the email details and the link to the attachment in a google sheet.

Just a little over an hour ago I started getting a Runtime Error in the Google Drive part of the scenario. I am unable to find why this is no longer connecting. My google drive connections are all up to date and I reconnected and refreshed.

I am pretty much a noob at this and was pretty proud of setting it up in the first place, and now that it isn’t working I am coming up blank on how to get it back.

Can anyone help?

This is the information that is showing up-

RuntimeError

[429] Sorry… body { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; color: #000; }

Hi I literately just ran into this same type of issue today not an hour before you.

Context:

I have a scenario that grabs a set of pdfs from a source (application process) and drops them in google drive. We use this process to convert the files to pdfs from binary and serves as a backup for the files maybe 20 times a days with no more than 1MB of data to deposit each run. However, the initial error that stopped the scenario was around google drive verification:

  1. Module initiation failed with an error : “Failed to verify account, Please try again later.”
  2. Scenario intialiazaiton failed with an error: Cannot initialize the scenario because of the reason ‘Failed to verify account. Please try again later.’

After verifying and reauthorizing my account through the connections section, I attempted to rerun the scenario and started getting 429’s about rate limitations. What’s odd is the the file seems to be getting create in the google folder, but with none of the content from the previous module.

Though below seems to be a resource to help resolve or fix rate limiting errors, the scenario I’ve employed has not even had the opportunity to hit those rate limits, even according to googles standards:

Looking forward to whatever resolution Make.com people have to address this. My coworker is suggesting that Google has blacklisted the module for whatever reason, but I’m super unclear how the module works that would result in that type of action from Google.

Same issue is happening here

I’ve still got the issue.

Same again now happening

Hi, I still have this issue. Although it worked last night.

I still have this problem.

I’ve still got the issue.

While it was briefly resolved for me, the problem is back for me. Seeing that it is on google’s end-- but wondering what type of priority it is for google to fix?

Make support is horrible. Same issue twice in one week and more than 2 days to solve it. No updates

Hey @here :wave:

We apologize for the inconvenience this issue caused. Our developers successfully identified the issue and delivered a hotfix stabilizing the Google Drive upload.

Thank you for your understanding :pray:
