"Insufficient tokens for quota 'ReadGroup' and limit 'USER-100s' of service

I have a code that works daily on both versions of API and was working as early as this morning(13th Aug '18). It took data from a bunch of sources and updates the sheet. It works on both v3 and v4 of the API.

Environment info

Operating System: Windows 10 17134 Python version: 3.7 gspread version: 3.0.1 and 0.6.2

Steps to reproduce

I have a bunch of sheets that all have the same format so I created a class to extract all the data I usually use. The class code is:

class gsheet():
    def __init__(self,myFile,mySheet,json=None):
        if json == None:
            clientKey = fileopenbox()
        else:
            clientKey = json
        scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
        cred =  ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(clientKey,scope)
        client = gspread.authorize(cred)

        self.sheet = client.open(myFile).worksheet(mySheet)
        self.POs = self.sheet.col_values(1)
        self.rows = len(self.POs)
        self.orders = self.sheet.col_values(5)
        self.sup_orders = self.sheet.col_values(6)
        self.skus = self.sheet.col_values(8)
        self.tracking = self.sheet.col_values(26)
        self.shipmeth = self.sheet.col_values(27)
    def createRec(self, pl, row):
        for p in list(pl.keys()):
            vaL = pl[p]['value']
            col = pl[p]['sheetCol']
            self.sheet.update_cell(row,col,vaL)

and the actual execution code that four instances of the class, with all the calls for the attributes, and then pulls data from different sources and executes this code to update the appropriate cells:

if PO.startswith('C'):
                mySheet = mywb if index_of(mywb.POs,PO) > -1 else mywbn
            else:
                mySheet = my3p if index_of(my3p.POs,PO) > -1 else my3pn
            rowfill  = [i for i,x in enumerate(mySheet.POs) if x.startswith(PO)]
            for row in rowfill:
                thisRow = row+1
                if mySheet.sheet.cell(thisRow,38).value == 'Y':
                    continue
                mySheet.sheet.update_cell(thisRow,26,track)
                if handle == 3.95:
                    mySheet.sheet.update_cell(thisRow,19,handle/len(rowfill))
                if freight:
                    mySheet.sheet.update_cell(thisRow,18,float(freight)/len(rowfill))

Stack trace or other output that would be helpful

          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

I have been using this code for the past 6 months. I have not had any issues with API calls, which is the reason this is not in stackoverflow. Please note that there is not traceback for 0.6.2 because it just crashes the terminal.

This version of the Google Sheets API has a limit of 500 requests per 100 seconds per project, and 100 requests per 100 seconds per user. Limits for reads and writes are tracked separately. There is no daily usage limit.

To view or change usage limits for your project, or to request an increase to your quota, do the following:

1. If you don’t already have a billing account for your project, then create one.
2. Visit the Enabled APIs page of the API library in the API Console, and select an API from the list.
3. To view and change quota-related settings, select Quotas. To view usage statistics, select Usage.

I just sidestepped this by using a semantic statement on the the get_all_values() output, instead of using col_values().

For example, if you want the values of the 3rd column in a sheet:

x= myworkbook.mysheet.get_all_values()
column  = [i[2] for i in x]

This cuts down on requests a lot.
