Google Pub/Sub RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error encountered when using Google Pub/Sub.

The project has exceeded its quota for the requested resource.

Understanding Google Pub/Sub

Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. It is designed to provide reliable, many-to-many, asynchronous messaging between applications. Pub/Sub decouples senders and receivers, allowing for secure and scalable communication.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Google Pub/Sub, you might encounter the RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error. This error typically indicates that your project has exceeded its quota for a specific resource, such as message throughput or storage.

What You Might Observe

While interacting with Pub/Sub, you may notice that messages are not being published or consumed as expected. The error message will explicitly state RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED, signaling a quota issue.

Details About the RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED Issue

The RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error in Google Pub/Sub occurs when your project surpasses the allocated quota for a particular resource. Quotas are set to protect both the user and the Google Cloud infrastructure from unexpected spikes in usage. You can view your current quotas and usage in the Google Cloud Console.

Common Causes

  • High message throughput exceeding the allowed limit.
  • Excessive storage usage for retained messages.
  • Too many API requests in a short period.

Steps to Resolve the RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED Error

To resolve this issue, you need to manage your quotas effectively and request increases if necessary. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Check Current Quotas

Navigate to the Google Cloud Console Quotas page to view your current usage and limits. Identify which resource is causing the RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error.

Step 2: Optimize Resource Usage

  • Review your application's message publishing and consumption patterns.
  • Consider implementing message batching to reduce the number of API calls.
  • Ensure that messages are acknowledged promptly to avoid unnecessary storage usage.

Step 3: Request a Quota Increase

If optimization does not resolve the issue, you can request a quota increase:

  1. Go to the Quotas page in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Select the quota you wish to increase.
  3. Click on the "Edit Quotas" button.
  4. Fill out the request form with the necessary details and submit it.

Conclusion

By understanding and managing your Google Pub/Sub quotas, you can prevent and resolve RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors. Regularly monitor your usage and adjust your application logic to stay within limits. For more detailed information, refer to the Google Cloud Pub/Sub Quotas documentation.
