Thank you, a couple hours ago we hit our 3D tiles daily quota, which reset at midnight Pacific Standard time. We are looking into why this occurred and will address this issue as it effects many of our users.

Hey, same error today.

Update, just got fixed!

2nd Update, error appears again.

I’m having the same problem. I tried to access Google Cloud to check my token quotas, but I couldn’t find anything. I’m completely lost.

You probably won’t find anything in your own Google Cloud console, because this quota is likely not tied to your Google Cloud account.

When Cesium ion serves Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, the ion endpoint can return a Google tile.googleapis.com URL with a Google API key/session generated through Cesium’s setup. So the 429 is coming from Google’s Map Tiles API, but the exhausted quota appears to belong to the Google project shown in the error message, not to your personal Google account.

In other words: this is probably not something you can fix by checking your own Google Cloud quotas. It looks like the shared/upstream Google 3D Tiles root-request quota used by Cesium ion has been exhausted. Cesium staff should confirm and raise/reset the relevant quota. Until then, the only practical options are to wait for the daily reset, reduce root tileset reloads, or use your own direct Google Map Tiles API key instead of going through ion.
