We're planning to build an app on top of the Google Spreadsheet API, 
however I'm worried that this API has no documentation for quotas, rate 
limits, or other limitations.

Does anyone know these limits?...

   - *Maximum data transfer per day.* How much data can we upload to Sheets 
   per user per day?
   - *Requests per time period.* How many requests can we send to the 
   Sheets API concurrently, per minute, and per day? This would be ideal to 
   know at an application level and at a per-user level.
   - *Timeout per request.* How long does a request give (particularly one 
   where we're pushing data to a spreadsheet) before timing out? 

Google is usually pretty good at exposing quotas so I'm a bit surprised 
they're missing for such a popular API.

*I did see* that the Spreadsheets API homepage 
<https://developers.google.com/google-apps/spreadsheets/> directs us to the 
Apps 
Script Execution REST API 
<https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/rest/>. Apparently that 
is the preferred API now to interact with Google Spreadsheets. 
Unfortunately, Apps Scripts isn't a good option for us b/c of the 20k 
requests / day and 6min / request restrictions. We use scripts for other 
reasons so our users can easily go over these quotas in a day.
