Retry failed requests to resolve errors
You can periodically retry a failed request over an increasing amount of time to handle errors related to rate limits, network How to delete archived emails in Gmail volume, or response time. For example, you might retry a failed request after one second, then after two
seconds, and then after four seconds. This method is called exponential backoff and it is used to improve bandwidth usage and maximize throughput of requests in concurrent environments.
Start retry periods at least one second after the error.
View or change usage limits, increase quota
To view or change usage limits for your project, or to request an increase to your quota, do the following:

Visit the Enabled APIs page of the API library in the API Console, and select an API from the list.

Batch requests
Using batching is encouraged, however, larger batch sizes are likely to trigger rate limiting. Sending batches larger than 50 requests is not recommended. For information on how to batch requests, refer to Batching requests.
