Google Play Console Phone Verification

 Guide to Resolving Google Play Console Phone Verification Issues: Personal Experience

If you're encountering an error during the phone verification process on the Google Play Console, 

such as "Too Many Requests" or "Quota Exceeded", this guide will walk you through how to 

troubleshoot and resolve it based on my personal experience.

Step 1: Identifying the Error Using the browser Console

1. Enter your phone number: Start the phone verification process by entering your number in 

2. the required field and click Verify.

3. Error Message Displayed: If an error appears, follow these steps to see the details:

• Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect

• Go to the Console tab to view the error log.

• You will likely see one of the following errors:

1. Quota Exceeded Error(Check quota err)

2. Too Many Requests Error

Step 2: Handling "Quota Exceeded" Error

If you see a "Quota Exceeded Error" in the console, it means that the Google service has 

reached its daily limit for phone number verification attempts.

What is a Quota?

When using an API service like Google’s phone verification system, there’s a daily limit on 

the number of SMS or calls (e.g., 10000 messages per day) that can be sent. This is to 

prevent spamming or abuse. Once this quota is reached, further requests will be blocked 

until the limit resets.

Solution:

1. Try using a different phone number: This error usually affects specific numbers, so try 

with another one if possible.

2. Test in the morning: From my personal experience, the best time to test again is during 

low-traffic hours. I successfully verified my number at 11:00 AM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

 Testing earlier in the day increases your chances of being within the new daily quota limit.

Step 3: Handling "Too Many Requests" Error

If you see "Too Many Requests Error", it means that you've made too many verification 

attempts in a short period of time. This can trigger a temporary block on your account 

verification.

Solution:

1. Wait for 7-10 days: Based on my experience, Google temporarily blocks verification attempts 

for a few days if this error appears. I waited for 10 days before retrying.

2. Clear Chrome cache: Before retrying, make sure to clear your browser’s cache and cookies. 

Here’s how:

1. Open Chrome and click on the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.

2. Select Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data.

3. Under the Time range, select All time.

4. Clear all data under both Basic and Advanced tabs (including Browsing history,

Download history, Cookies, Cached images, etc.). Ensure that all sections show 0 in the 

cache details.

5. Important: Log out of all accounts before clearing the cache. Click Sign out from the 

bottom of the Chrome dialog.

3. Retry after clearing cache: Once you've waited for the necessary time and cleared your cache, 

reattempt the phone verification.

Step 4: Final Retry and Success

After completing the above steps (depending on the error you faced), return to the Google Play 

Console and retry the phone verification process:

· Enter your phone number.

· Click Verify.

· Follow the instructions to enter the verification code sent to your phone.

If all steps were followed, you should now be able to complete the phone verification process 

successfully!

Conclusion

By following this guide, users facing "Quota Exceeded" or "Too Many Requests" errors in the 

Google Play Console should be able to resolve these issues. Whether it’s waiting for the quota

 reset or clearing the cache after multiple attempts, patience is key. I hope my experience helps
