When working with Looker Studio reports in Power My Analytics, you may encounter an error that prevents your data from loading. This guide will help you understand the cause of this error and provide solutions to resolve it, ensuring you can continue to create and view your reports.

Error

• Data Destination Affected: Looker Studio
  
• Occurs: When attempting to load a Looker Studio report

Cause

This error is related to Google account service quotas. Each Google account has daily limits on various services, including URL Fetch Calls. The specific limits are:

• 20,000 URL Fetch calls per day for Gmail and free G Suite users
• 100,000 URL Fetch calls per day for Google Workspace users
  
  

When you exceed these limits, Google prevents further API calls, resulting in the error message.

Solution

To resolve this issue, you have two main options:

1. Optimize Your Current Google Account Usage
   
   • Review and disable lower priority Google services associated with your account.
   • This approach can free up your daily quota for essential reporting tasks.
2. Use an Alternative Google Account
   
   • Create your Looker Studio report using a different Google account.
   • Choose an account that hasn't reached its daily URL Fetch Calls limit.

Best Practices

To prevent this error in the future and manage your Google account resources effectively:

• Regularly monitor your Google account service usage through the Developers Console.
• Consider using separate Google accounts for high-volume reporting needs.
• If you frequently encounter this error, consider upgrading to Google Workspace for higher service limits.
