Immutable solution version

Best-effort quota only runs after provisioned is exhausted - and has no SLA

Version 3

Complete solution

Shows how to fix best-effort quota only runs after provisioned is exhausted - and has no SLA. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.

TL;DR

If you need reliable throughput for the Pro model at 30 pages/min provisioned, request a quota increase or a capacity reservation instead of hoping best effort covers the gap.

Steps

  1. Do not size your pipeline on the best-effort numbers - that quota only kicks in after provisioned is exhausted, and it carries no SLA, so bursts can still throttle or degrade. If you need reliable throughput for the Pro model at 30 pages/min provisioned, request a quota increase or a capacity reservation instead of hoping best effort covers the gap.

When to use

You are seeing this: Do not size your pipeline on the best-effort numbers - that quota only kicks in after provisioned is exhausted, and it carries no SLA, so bursts can still throttle or degrade.

When not to use

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Evidence

Source: Google Cloud Document AI quotas docs: online processing for GenAI-powered processors has two tiers - provisioned (120 pages/min for Flash-based custom extractor, 30 for Pro) and best effort (120, or 60 for Pro). Best effort is only used once the provisioned quota is exhausted, and there is no SLA on it.

Verified resolution: Do not size your pipeline on the best-effort numbers - that quota only kicks in after provisioned is exhausted, and it carries no SLA, so bursts can still throttle or degrade. If you need reliable throughput for the Pro model at 30 pages/min provisioned, request a quota increase or a capacity reservation instead of hoping best effort covers the gap.
