How does social blade generate the Live Subscriber Count - youtube

How does Socialblade generate the live subscriber count with the youtube api?
It updates every second for each channel. Wouldn't that easily exceed the rate limit?
From their app store description, they state they're pulling from the youtube api:
View your favorite YouTubers live sub counter
and get real-time updates every second direct from YouTube's API.
No more having to wait hours for the number on your channel to update!

It doesn't exceed their ratelimit.
It has a quota cost of 1 point. You can use 30,000 quota units/second/user and 1,000,000 per day. 50M if your application was made before April 20, 2016.

Youtube-api very small quotas by using access token

I registered in the google console, created my project and enabled youtube api v3.
I uploaded videos from a server, I did it via Oauth2 (from my account). I confirmed it for the first time, received a refresh token and now just update the access token to upload the video.
The problem is in quotas: I read that youtube provides a quota of 1,000,000 (one million) units per day, to download a video to spend + -1600, but for some reason I have a limit of 3,000,000 (three million), BUT at the same time 10,000 is written per day . And ten thousand - this is 6 videos of all.
Could you explain to me what all the quotas are and why I only have 10,000 per day?
In the first screenshot, we can see that only 11,184 units out of 3,000,000 were spent.
and on the second that almost the entire limit was spent (almost 10,000)
*I want to upload video from the server to YouTube automatically.

Youtube liveBroadcast insert limits?

I'm providing management of live streaming to the International Sporting Competition. At the request of the client we're using YouTube as a delivery platform. I've built an interface so the events and stream keys can be easily managed outside of the Youtube API. Ideally I would like to insert all events, so end users can have a direct link to the YouTube event.
After inserting 30 events (inserting at a rate of 1 per second) I seem to have hit an undocumented limit. I get a 403 error "request not authorised". I can still use the credentials for other actions so I have not crossed the global quota for the user or the account.
Unfortunately the Youtube API increase form is broken so I cannot contact Youtube there and request a rate increase.
Looks like there's a limit of 50 liveBroadcast.inserts(). This may be per 24 hour period I will confirm tomorrow. The web gui confirms that it is denying my requests because I have made too many live events and to try again "later".

YouTube API Quota Limits & Applications that Scale

I'm currently working on an app that requires video uploading via youtube. I plan to share the video in app via the the youtube API. According to the documentation to share a video on youtube requires "approximately 16000 units.", with each app having a complementary quota of 5 million allowing aprox. 312 video posts a day.
This app will have thousands of users so the "complementary" quota limit most definitely won't be enough, in the app dashboard when pressing "Request more..." the following message is displayed: "We Are Not Approving Quota Requests."
Obviously there are many apps out there with millions of users such as "Social cam" or "Talking Tom" that would be exceeding the complementary quota.
So my question is how can app increase its quota? If it is paid for what is the pricing structure?
Actually, Now a days the quota cost for uploading videos is about 1600 per video upload. And the quota limit is also decrease by 100000 per day. For uploading 312 videos per day can cost 312*1600=499200. Which is less than 100000 quota limit. But if you want more videos to be uploaded you can increase data limit by little knowledge of php.
$rand_keys = array_rand($num);
$comm=$num[$rand_keys];
Where $num is an array that contains keys, Whatever number you want. Each new request go to the next api key. By making 10 keys you can get 10 times than limit also. Other wise you have to apply for quotas.
