Move Google Workspace to Google Workspace: API Throttle Fix

Organizations that are migrating from Google Workspace to another Google Workspace frequently encounter one of the biggest technical hurdles: API throttling. If huge amounts of emails, Drive documents, and calendar entries are being moved between accounts, the number of API requests easily exceeds Google’s limits. Delays, retry after retry, and long migration times result from this.

Our CloudFuze’s Google Workspace to Google Workspace migration tool solves API throttling intelligently. It is designed for enterprise-class tenant-to-tenant Google Workspace migration and offers fast, reliable, and secure transfers without interruptions, even with massive workloads.

Why API Throttling Occurs During Google Workspace Migration?

Google enforces API usage limits in order to maintain service stability:

API Throttling

When migrating Google Workspace to another account, thousands of Gmail, Drive, and Calendar users can generate millions of API calls. As soon as these thresholds are exceeded, Google temporarily blocks further requests. This causes throttling, migration time-out, and even failed transfers.

How CloudFuze Solves API Throttling

CloudFuze’s enterprise-focused Google Workspace to Google Workspace migration tool is engineered to manage API limits intelligently and ensure smooth data transfer for businesses.

1. Smart API Request Management

CloudFuze controls the quantity of API calls in real time to keep within Google’s per-project and per-user request limits.

2. Batch Transfers

Large mailboxes and Drive folders are transferred in batches of smaller, more manageable sizes.

3. Automated Retry Mechanism

In the event of throttling, the failed requests get queued and automatically retried. Thus, no data is lost, and speed of migration is optimized.

4. Background Migration for Zero Downtime

Employees continue to work while our CloudFuze migration engineers execute transfers in the background, preserving metadata, timestamps, and permissions.

Example: How API Throttling Impacts Large Migrations

If an organization is migrating 5,000 Google Workspace accounts:

  • All Drive and mailboxes add hundreds of API calls a minute.
  • This can get past Google’s limit of 1,200,000 requests/minute (project-based) and 15,000 requests/minute (per user).
  • Google blocks the unnecessary calls without adequate throttling control, causing delays and constant retries.

CloudFuze Solution:

  • Splits the migration into batches of users and data, smaller in number
  • Monitors API utilization in real time to avoid reaching thresholds
  • Automatically retries failed calls so data is not lost

Outcome: Migration is uninterrupted with no downtime, IT admins are still in control, and employees are not impacted.

FAQs

1. Why does API throttling happen during migration?

In migrating Gmail, Drive, and Calendar data of thousands of users, the migration tool might exceed Google’s per-user (15,000/min) or per-project (1,200,000/min) API quotas, which leads to throttling.

2. How does CloudFuze solve API throttling issues?

CloudFuze manages API requests by batching transfers, API request rate management, and automatic retrying of failed requests.

3. Will API throttling lead to data loss?

No. CloudFuze does automatic retries of failed requests until completion, so no emails, files, or metadata are lost.

4. Is CloudFuze suitable for enterprise tenant-to-tenant Google Workspace migration?

Yes. CloudFuze is an enterprise-class Google Workspace tenant migration tool, migrating thousands of users and petabytes of data securely.
