Google Identity Platform Rate Limits

Google Identity Platform inherits Google Cloud's standard quota and rate-limit model. Limits are enforced per-project and per-API-method; defaults are documented in the Google Cloud Console quotas page and can be increased on request. Per-project request quotas apply to the Identity Toolkit API and related Identity Platform endpoints. SMS phone-auth has separate per-project verification quotas.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter when receiving 429 or 503, honoring the Retry-After header when present.
Quota raise via support
Default project quotas can be increased through the Google Cloud Console quota request flow; SLA-backed limits available on enterprise contracts.
Per-project scoping
Quotas are scoped to the Google Cloud project; multi-tenant deployments share the same project quota across tenants.
