"Rate limit exceeded. User message: "Sorry, you have exceeded your sharing quota.""
I'm using the Google Drive API to transfer 60,000 + files from one user to another. After I inserted about 1,000 permissions, I got the following message:
"Rate limit exceeded. User message: "Sorry, you have exceeded your sharing quota.""
How can I increase this quota?

Hi Elma Gonzalez Lima Brandao!
Do you wish to only share those files, or transfer ownership?
For personal accounts, there is no way to alter the quota limits.
Looking forward to seeing your replies!

Do you know what the limit is?

It's probably a daily limit. However, I need to advise that you carefully read the following Help Center Article:
Note: Please remember that if you transfer ownership of a folder, you are only transferring that folder
Please pay particular attempt to the restrictions on what types of files can actually be transferred, and to whom.
Didn't want to assume something here!

Have cleared cache
Used another browser
Tried Incognito and InPrivate
Tried logging in and out
No change.
This is GSuite account. Not private. I need this today for a project from superintendent, but obviously hard to do if it doesn't work.

Shane,
G Suite accounts have their own rules and policies, and ways to manage things. Depending on the type of G Suite Account, you may also have live support.
In any case, you should post to the G Suite Help Community, where experts on such issues are deployed. Here is a link to that community:
Thanks!

I had an issue with creating a brand new email, brand new api connections and getting this stupid quota error.
For kicks and giggles I decided to create a file on the primary email and share it with with the service account. I validated the service account could see it. Then, just to see what happens, I ran a script through the service account to transfer the ownership of the same file to my primary email (even though it still owned it). No error. Hmm, okay. So I ran the script again and again no error. I did get two emails stating that the service account is transferring ownership of the file to me at my primary email.
Then, i created a single script to create a file with the service account and transfer ownership. It worked.
I think there is some sort of initialization in the background that is not taking place. This worked for me. Hope it works for you.
