Request to Increase Daily URL Inspection Quota in Google Search Console.
Dear Google Search Console Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to report an unusual behavior I recently noticed while using the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console.
When attempting to submit URLs for inspection, I received the following message: “Quota exceeded. Sorry, we couldn’t process this request because you’ve exceeded your daily quota. Please try again tomorrow.”
What caught my attention is that I was only able to submit approximately 10 URLs per day, which seems quite limited for proper website management and maintenance.
This daily limit has a direct impact on SEO activities, especially for websites with frequent updates or a large number of new pages. When compared to other tools, such as Bing Webmaster Tools, which allows the inspection of up to 100 URLs per day, the difference is significant.
Additionally, this issue is not limited to my account. I am part of a WhatsApp group with more than 500 SEO professionals, and many members have reported experiencing the same limitation, which suggests this is a recurring and widespread issue.
Given this context, I would like to ask:
Is there any possibility to increase the daily URL inspection quota, either by default or through a specific request?
Is there any official API, plugin, or alternative method recommended by Google to submit URL inspections or indexing requests at a larger scale?
Is this quota fixed for all users, or can it vary based on factors such as account history, property type, or other criteria?
Thank you very much for your time and for the excellent work done by your team. I look forward to any guidance or clarification you may be able to provide.
Kind regards,
Double encoding is just 2% and I am in that 2%
