A Google Appengine application has reached the free resource limits regarding Datastore Stored Data. (All other quotas are OK). Hence I'm trying to delete data from the Datastore (on the Datastore Adnmin page).

Only problem is, I cannot delete data because I get this error:

Delete Job Status
There was a problem kicking off the jobs. The error was:
The API call datastore_v3.Put() required more quota than is available.

How to break out from this vicious circle?

Reset to default

You need to wait until the current billing day is over in order your datastore operations quotas to be reset, and the you will be able to delete entities.

  • Nice try, thanks, I've also seen this answer to a similar question. The thing is, the actual quota that has been exceeded is the 1 GBytes of total 'Datastore Stored Data', this quota does not got reset.

  • Have you tried deleting the entities from your code and not the Datastore Admin?

  • No. What I have only tried to delete from the Datastore Viewer, that works but there I can only delete 20 records at a time. Currently I do not have an development environment set up for this application, and I would prefer to save the time of setting up one. Actually I have created this app more than 4 years ago and now it has reached the 1 GBytes Data Storage Limit and been reported to be down due to this. Right now all I want to do is delete the data from the Datastore and get the app up and running.

  • Then I would propose adding a cron job that deletes batches of entities every x minutes. This way you will manage to delete your entities without having to do it manually for 20 entities each time.

  • Well, thanks for your concern. As I have mentioned, I try to minimize the efforts I spend on this issue as I'm working on many other projects. So here is what happening: I have spent a bug report to Google about the Datastore Admin/Delete entities feature. I have also learnt that this feature is very beta, it may work or may not work. Anyway, today I gave this "Datastore Admin/Delete feature" entities an other try and it seems to work. It has created a job with a description "Deleting all <entity name> entities" and that job is still running right now.

If you're getting this error after enabling billing, you need to set a daily budget. check out this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31693372/1942593
