Firestore query failed with code=RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, description=Quota exceeded.

Describe your environment

• Android Studio version: Arctic Fox 2020.3.1 Patch 3
• Firebase Component: Firestore
• Component version:

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:28.4.1')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore-ktx'

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

My app queries from Firestore, and when the result contains more than 2000 items, the query always fails with error WatchStream]: (c98c54b) Stream closed with status: Status{code=RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, description=Quota exceeded., cause=null}. The detail error stacktrace can be downloaded here.

Note:

• This problem only happens on Android SDK. I am able to query on iOS and Web without a problem.
• This problem happens when each row contains quite significant amount of data. In my test, the final result contains around 5000 items, total size is about 120MB
• I am on Blaze plan
• I have waited for more than 30 minutes before executing a new query

Steps to reproduce:

Simply execute a query. The query will fail for user with a lot of data.

Relevant Code:

fun getAll() {
    val ref = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance()
        .collection("users")
        .document(userId)
        .collection("notes")
        .limit(2500)

    // This query always failed with the limit >= 2500
    ref.get(Source.SERVER)
        .addOnSuccessListener { results ->
            Log.d("Test","results size" + results.size())
        }.addOnFailureListener {
            it.printStackTrace()
            Log.d("Test", "exception ${it.localizedMessage}")
        }
}

@thomasdao Yes, after looking at Francisco’s report + the absence of backend logs, it’s clear that the error is thrown by SQLite after the cache is full. To workaround this, you can either clear the cache directory with Android utility methods, or increase the size of the cache via Firestore settings.

Internally, we’ll look at improving documentation around this error case and improving the error messages. I’m going to close the issue, but feel free to ask any other questions you may have!

@bacarPereira that’s strange, I thought 20,000 writes per day is only the free quota and not for the Blaze Plan?

That’s right. I meant spark plan. I will edit. Thanks.
