YouTube API Video Upload Quota: Docs Say 1600, Actual Use 100? [closed]

I'm building a service where users can log in via OAuth to upload videos to their YouTube channels using their access tokens. I'm currently testing the YouTube video upload API, and I've noticed a discrepancy in quota consumption.

According to the YouTube Data API documentation, uploading a video costs 1600 quota units. However, in my tests, it appears that only 100 quota units are being deducted per upload.

I have two main questions:

  • When uploading videos using OAuth access tokens, does the quota consumption come from the Queries per day (10,000 limit) or the Queries per minute per user quota?

  • If the quota consumed is from the daily quota, why am I seeing only 100 units deducted instead of 1600 as stated in the docs?

Any insights into how quota is actually deducted for video uploads via OAuth would be greatly appreciated
