getEntries: Insufficient tokens for quota 'logging.googleapis.com/read_requests' and limit 'ReadRequestsPerMinutePerProject'

I am getting this error when ever I run the following code.

Error: Insufficient tokens for quota 'logging.googleapis.com/read_requests' and limit 'ReadRequestsPerMinutePerProject' of service 'logging.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:1234567890123'.

Apparently, this is due to the “Read Requests” Quota which I see here: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/logging.googleapis.com/quotas?project=PROJECT_ID&authuser=1&duration=PT1H

However, this is literally the only code that is contributing to this quota. As you can see in the image, there are 0 entries until I run this code, then it spikes to 60 per minute and I get the error above. I’m guessing there is something deeper in the getEntries function that makes an additional call that contributes to the “Read Requests” quota, but I can’t tell what it might be. I may not be looking deep enough though.

Environment details

• OS: MacOS but also App Engine
• Node.js version: v8.5.0
• npm version: 5.6.0
• @google-cloud/logging version: 1.1.4

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy this code into a file or the repl. Replace INSTANCE_NAME, or not. The error occurs regardless of a good instance name.

const Logging = require( '@google-cloud/logging' );
const logging = new Logging();


var theLogFilter = 'jsonPayload.resource.name=INSTANCE_NAME';

var metadata;

logging.getEntries({
  filter: theLogFilter
}, (err, entries, nextQuery, apiResponse) => {

	if( err ) {
		console.log( "ERROR: " + err );
		return;
	}

	console.log( "RESULTS: " + JSON.stringify( entries ) );
});

This results in:

I’ve tried waiting a couple of days and it still seems to happen. Does this happen for anyone else?

Indeed, it seems like getEntries will surpass the limit with autoPaginate: true. I’ll open a new issue for this.

There’s only one change you need to not blow the quota, and that’s:

logging.getEntries({
+   autoPaginate: false,
    filter: theLogFilter
}, (err, entries, nextQuery, apiResponse) => {

By default, autoPaginate is set to true. When the API responds with a cursoring token, that indicates to us that there may be more results, so we run nextQuery automatically. Interestingly, this returns a cursoring token endlessly, which is why it runs until the quota limit is met.
