Hi Markus, Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.
Kindly note that the generateKeywordIdeas is the planning services in the Google As API. Due to cost and complexity, the Planning service methods listed below are subject to separate limits from other types of requests. Limited to 1 request per second per CID or developer token: KeywordPlanService.GetKeywordPlan KeywordPlanService.GenerateHistoricalMetrics KeywordPlanService.GenerateForecastMetrics Requests that violate these limitations are rejected with the error: RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. 1 QPS is calculated as 60 requests per 60 seconds. If you are having the basic access level developer token, then the 15,000 API operations per day limit is still applicable. As all requests to Keyword Planning services for both standard and basic access are rate limited. Fewer requests are allowed per minute when compared to other services. Our recommendation is to cache or store results as you will receive the same response over a long time span. For example, if you request a set of existing keywords, the response is not going to change over a period of hours or days. In the case of historical metrics, the statistics refresh monthly. Moreover, you may need to avoid sending too many requests in a short period of time. The server throws this error once it detects that your request has exceeded the system frequency limit. That being said, I would recommend setting up short delays between requests or combine more operations in fewer requests. Also, we suggest setting a reasonable upper bound for the total number of concurrent tasks that are going to make requests (across all processes and machines), and adjusting upward to optimize your throughput without exceeding the rate limit is recommended. Otherwise, you may possibly experience the exceeding rate limits that the client app is spawning an excessive number of parallel tasks since we don't limit the number of parallel requests a client app can have, this can easily exceed the Requests Per Second limit at the developer token level. However, Throttles can be implemented at the consumer side by limiting the number of concurrent consumers, or implement rate limiters or throttlers for either the producers or consumers.For more information, you may refer to this throttling QPS from the client side (check out Throttling and rate limiters). Let us know if you need further clarification.
