Do these quotas only apply to trial accounts?
When I exceed the 5 requests per minute limitation, the error message says:
You reached Quota limit. Your total free Quota is 5 requests per minute. Please try again soon.
Which sounds specific to trial accounts, but the documentation linked to above does not specify.
Thank you.
This applies to all accounts. We can override this (any other documented limit) for specific clients if necessary.

We are using YouTube Data API v3 in our production environment, all of a sudden today the Quota limit went to 0, we are now not able to make any API calls.
Is there any way to get at least the default limit of 1000. We have submitted the form to increase the quota but not sure how long it may take as our current users are not able to use our service.
You did not mention if your application had gone through the verification process yet or not. Assuming it has not you are given a short window of developer of quota to use during the development process. If you have not verified your application in a timely manner. Then your quota will often be removed and set to 0
I have also seen developers whos quota gets set to 0 if they are doing something that was not verified in their original request.
You will need to request additional quota, it can take months in my experience three months to get a quota extension.
I got this error:
The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota.
and I can not understand YouTube limits the number of requests? That is, I cannot create my project by taking API from my channel? If this is so, what is the point of YouTube Data API, if at the development stage I was already limited, what will happen when users come in, then my project will fall within 5 minutes?
and I cannot understand how I was able to make 10,000 requests per day, given that I worked on the localhost for about 3 hours, is this possible?
Indeed the Google's Developers Console shows text like Queries per day, but that's very much misleading (and may well be reported as an Web UI bug to Google).
You have to acknowledge that YouTube Data API's quota system is not accounting for the number of endpoints calls you made during a day long, but it accounts for the cumulated number of quota units corresponding to each of your endpoint calls.
For example, if you have 10000 units of quota allocated for daily usage, you may very easily exceed this upper bound after only 100 calls to the Search.list API endpoint.
Many API users find the default amount of quota allocated -- 10000 units -- to be quite constraining -- that even during the development stage of their apps. For tackling this issue, I recommend two things:
Develop your app such that to cache API responses it received from the endpoints it calls; this way, during the development stage of your app (afterwards, even during production, but albeit functioning with a different logic), repeated calls to endpoints would not result in actual API requests, but would get served from the app's local cache.
Apply for a quota extension, using Google's official form; be aware that, as per the experience of users of this forum, Google's answer, usually, does not arrive shortly.
If you set up a OAuth for Youtube within your app that allows users to upload videos, does each video cost towards your 10,000pt quota?
I run a personal uploading bot and it does 3ish uploads per day within the 10,000 point quota but if I was to scale out as an app this wouldn't work since 5 users would max it out.
So if a user approves your app for upload permissions, would this cost toward your clients 10,000pts or is it 10,000 points per user per day?
Also how easy is YouTube's quota expansion form process if it is the former?

By checking the quota calculator you will be able to see what each call costs. The vido.insert call for example costs 1600 quota.
If you check the google developer console and check your quota it might look something like this.
As you can see one of them states "per user" while the other does not.
Queries per day 10,000 is a project based quota. while Queries per minute per user is a user based quota.
It sounds like you should be applying for a quota extension if the 10,000 limit is not enough for your needs.

Its a long process google says it takes twenty days my experience is three to six months average. You need to be prepared to get a NO. You also need to be prepared to have your quota shut down suddenly because they detect something they identity as spam or a violation. In the event of a shutdown you will need to apply for a new extension. Which again will take time.
I went through the approval process of having my Youtube Data API quota (units/day) increased over 2 months ago. Yet, I am not seeing the increase within Google Cloud Platform. Here is a picture of the display in which I am talking about.
I am wondering if this is a bug within GCP, or potentially my quota was never even increased upon approval?
Its like happens the same on my couple of project but didn't found any public document, when I opened ticket with gcp team and they mentioned me the same
Quota increases as follows :
Google verifies your need of quota increase
Justification needed for quota increase
If Google increases quota, it is not permanent
If your usage decreases for a certain period of time then increased quota would revert to default quota

a few programmers and I want to create a new Plugin for the YouTube-Addon in Kodi (XBMC). For this Project we need a hughe increase of the Quota because we have at least 4 Million Users (Download-counter)
The Link above is the current plugin which we would to replace. In this plugin we allways have the problem with the quota (plugin is blocked for at least 4 hours)
Which requirements are essential for the plugin to get an increase of the quota?
You'll be answering an apply for addtional quota form for Youtube Data API v3.
Here's the full statement from the docs:
If you reach the quota limit, you can request additional quota on the
Quotas tab in the Developer's Console.
Note that projects that had enabled the YouTube Data API before April
20, 2016, have a different default quota for that API
