 * Hello.
 * I enabled YouTube v3 API after reading How to get YouTube API key and put key
   in the plugin.
 * However, I am getting the following error.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       { "error": { "code": 403, "message": "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your \u003ca href=\"/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota\"\u003equota\u003c/a\u003e.", "errors": [ { "message": "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your \u003ca href=\"/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota\"\u003equota\u003c/a\u003e.", "domain": "youtube.quota", "reason": "quotaExceeded" } ] } }
       ```
   
 * I just activated the API from the console, so I haven’t exceeded the quota.
 * Can you please let me know if there is a solution to this problem?
 * Thank you.

 * Hi,
 * The only solution I found regarding this issue is to create a new project and
   generate new API keys from this new project to use in VideographyWP.
 * In my case, I had older projects in Google Console that I created some time ago(
   few years back) and for those projects, when using one of the API keys into the
   plugin, even though the quota was not exceeded, the error message was the same.
   I had to dump those projects, create new ones and everything started working 
   again.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for your response.
 * First of all, the issue has been resolved, but it seems that another cause is
   also in the account.
 * I was issued a new project and a new API in my personal account and tried to 
   test it.
 * But it didn’t work.
 * So I tried the same thing on another account, and it worked fine.
 * Thanks for your help in solving the problem.
