If your automation just stopped mid-run, you have hit a quota limit. Here is exactly which one and how to fix it — free, no upgrade required, works at any order volume. Quick answer — the numbers that matter in 2026: Both consumer (free) and Google Workspace accounts get a 6-minute maximum execution time per script run — the old 30-minute Workspace limit no longer applies. Consumer accounts are capped at 90 minutes of trigger runtime per day; Workspace accounts get 6 hours of trigger runtime per day. UrlFetch calls are capped at 20,000 per day on consumer accounts (100,000 on Workspace). These are the hard limits that cannot be increased — they are why Autocrat, Sheets automations, and document workflows fail at scale. If you have ever seen “Service invoked too many times”, “Exceeded maximum execution time”, or “Could not obtain lock”, you already know the symptom. This guide explains the exact numbers behind those errors, when they appear by account type, and what actually works when order or document volume gets serious. What Are Google Apps Script Quotas? Google Apps Script quotas are hard limits on how much work a script can do. They exist to protect shared infrastructure — stopping one workflow from consuming resources that affect thousands of other users. Quotas appear across four layers, and they all apply simultaneously: User-level quotas — tied to the Google account running the script. Consumer and Workspace accounts have different ceilings. Project-level quotas — tied to the Apps Script project itself. Concurrent executions are capped here. Service quotas — Gmail, Sheets, Drive, UrlFetch, and other services each have their own daily limit. Execution quotas — limits on how long a single run can take and how much total runtime is consumed in a day. The critical point is that these limits stack independently. A workflow can be fine on execution time but fail on service call rate — which is why the same script can work perfectly for a small operation and break

Google's Vice President of Devices and Services, Shakil Barkat, all but confirmed in an interview with 9to5 Google that its next Pixel phone would cost more than the Pixel 10. Considering the ongoing RAM supply issues due to the explosion of AI data centers, the rumored price hike is not a complete surprise. Companies from […]

The European Commission found Google's search ranking and anti-steering violated the Digital Markets Act.

The web and Google once had a deal: Google collects data and indexes webpages and in exchange sends oceans of traffic to websites. The deal wasn't perfect and certainly made Google more money than it made the websites, but it worked for a long time. Now, however, the deal seems to be dead. And the […]

Most Chromebooks ship with only 8GB of RAM, which is enough for some people, but certainly not enough for me. Multitaskers who want more memory in their next Chromebook should check out Best Buy, which is discounting Acer’s Chromebook Plus Spin 514 for the remainder of the day. Originally $749 for the configuration with 12GB […]

Google just made multi-region Cloud Run significantly easier. Here is the full picture; what changed, what it means in practice, and how to build it right. Most teams discover they need multi-region architecture the hard way and sadly, during an outage. Whether you're running a global e-commerce platform, a real-time gaming API, or a financial services application, users expect your service to be available whenever they need it. There is a conversation that happens in almost every engineering team at some point. It usually starts with a post-mortem. A regional Google Cloud outage or a Cloud Run service that hit a cold start spike, or a single-region deployment that could not handle the latency demands of users spread across Lagos, Nairobi, and London simultaneously, caused enough pain that someone finally asked: why are we only deployed in one region? The answer is usually one of three things: it felt complex, it felt expensive, or no one had prioritised it yet. In July 2026, Google moved Cloud Run Service Health to General Availability and the timing was hard to miss. Six days earlier, a power cut at Google's Netherlands data centre had knocked three services offline. The GA release brings automatic cross-region failover to Cloud Run with what Google describes as a two-step setup: add a readiness probe, set minimum instances to at least 1. The load balancer does the rest. This article covers the full architecture, what Service Health is, how readiness probes underpin it, how to set up the Global Load Balancer correctly, and how to test that failover actually works. It also covers the production details. What changed: Service Health and readiness probes Before Service Health, multi-region Cloud Run required you to implement a /health endpoint in your application and configure a separate HTTPS health check at the load balancer level. This worked, but it had a significant gap. The load balancer's health check only knew whether the Cloud Run service endpoint was respon

Google's selfie videos can be used for account access, AI Avatars, and age verification.

The European Commission claims that Google boosted its own apps and products to the top of search rankings to the detriment of its competitors.

Google becomes third tech giant to face huge fines under the Digital Markets Act.

Google continues to report big quarterly revenue, but its AI spending has skyrocketed.

The tech giant says selfie videos give users more options to sign in if they're ever locked out or don't have access to their usual phone or computer.

Gemini had over 750 million monthly users in February.

The European Union has fined Google's parent company Alphabet €890 million (about $1 billion) for two separate violations of the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA). One penalty is for giving its own products preferential treatment in search results, while the other is for blocking Android developers from sending users to alternate payment options. A €460 […]

The next time you’re locked out of your Google account, you can use your face as part of the account recovery process.

Google announced yet another way to gain access to your account if you get locked out, forget your password, or don't have access to the phone, computer, or two-factor authentication apps you typically use. As the name implies, selfie video lets you capture a short video of your face on a mobile device or PC, […]

Google's cloud business is thriving, as companies adopting its AI and AI infrastructure services help the tech giant to report record profits.

Some Android users find the security feature to be too restrictive. Here's how to disable it and what you risk by doing so.

The new feature lets users wirelessly transfer more data types from an iPhone without needing to download a separate app.
