Looker Studio Rate Limits

Looker Studio (datastudio.googleapis.com) is governed by Google Cloud per-project / per-user quotas managed through the Cloud Quotas page rather than a tier-specific RPS table on the pricing page. Connector and embedding APIs inherit quotas from the underlying data source service.

Cloud Quotas
Project-level quotas for the Looker Studio API are managed through the Google Cloud Quotas console; raise via support.
Connector inheritance
Community Connectors and the Linking API inherit upstream data source rate limits (BigQuery, Sheets, third-party APIs).
Backoff
On 429 / 503, retry with exponential backoff and respect Retry-After when present.
