YouTube’s positive factors are not hidden from anyone. It offers content for every individual, including kids, students, and youth, and for those who want to learn almost everything in their lives.
As it is a popular source for education and entertainment, its availability on Kodi in a YouTube addon is not the 8th wonder. These days, YouTube add-ons are important, or you can say they are a must-have for every Kodi device.
It is not just a stand-alone tool; plenty of Kodi add-ons are based on it. Most of the other add-ons pull playlists from YouTube.
YouTube is available on the official Kodi TV repository and can be installed in just a few clicks. Like other add-ons, some issues are associated with YouTube, including “QuotaExceeded Error.” It is the most common error for Kodi users. This guide will explore ways to remove YouTube’s “Daily Quota Limit Exceeded” related errors through updated methods. Look at the solutions below for Kodi YouTube’s daily limit exceeding fixing.
What is YouTube Quota?
YouTube quota is the number of requests for applications such as Kodi that are allowed in a specific time frame. Similarly, Kodi’s quota is defined. The YouTube API calculates the quota based on the cost, not on the actual number of requests. Each request may have a different cost. For complete reference and understanding, follow this link to the Quota Calculator.
How to find your current quota?
-
Open Google Cloud Console
-
Locate for “YouTube Data API”
-
Click on the Manage button
-
Click on Quota from the left
In this way, you get access to the quota for each application.
How to Fix Kodi YouTube Quota Limit Exceeded Error
In this guide for fixing the Kodi YouTube exceeded quota error, we will explore two different methods for resolving the issues quickly. The first method works with Kodi’s default cache value and API number, while the second method works with personal YouTube API keys.
