Google Search Console Rate Limits
Google Search Console API enforces three categories of quotas — Search Analytics, URL Inspection, and All Other Resources — measured in queries-per-minute (QPM), queries-per-day (QPD), and queries-per-second (QPS) at per-site, per-user, and per-project scopes. Usage can be tracked via the quota tab in the Google Cloud Console.

Backoff Strategy
Use exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503 responses; respect Retry-After when present.
Quota visibility
Track quota usage via the quota tab in the Google APIs Console for the project; raise via Google Cloud support if needed.
Load measurement
Search Analytics load is measured in 10-minute (short-term) and 1-day (long-term) windows; spikes within either window can produce 429s before the per-minute limit is reached.
