[YouTube-API] Re: yt:quota too many recent calls

Hello Jon,

You need to pause for a while when you run into that error and allow
your quota to reset. There's no way around it, and it's working as
intended. There's no way to work around the quota system by batching
requests—the same quota on the number of individual actions still
applies.

There are more details in this blog post:
