## TL;DR

When your Custom Search integration starts returning 429s, check the clock in Pacific Time before you change anything. Build your retry and alerting around that: log quota errors with a PT timestamp, and set your usage alerts to fire well before the end of the PT day. The daily quota resets at midnight PT, not midnight in your timezone, so a 429 at 11pm your time can clear an hour later.

## Fix

1. When your Custom Search integration starts returning 429s, check the clock in Pacific Time before you change anything.
   Expected: You see the expected output instead of the problem.
2. Build your retry and alerting around that: log quota errors with a PT timestamp, and set your usage alerts to fire well before the end of the PT day.
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

### Google API daily quotas reset at midnight Pacific Time

## Why it happens

Stack Overflow #34623024 (top answer, 19 votes): the question asks when daily quota limits reset across Google APIs. The answer: check the quota page in the developer console, most state the reset time, and the daily quota resets at midnight Pacific Time. That one line saves a lot of confusion when your Custom Search calls start failing at what looks like a random hour.

## Edge cases
