YouTube API basics
Comment moderation actions use comments.setModerationStatus (50 quota units) and comments.delete (50 quota units). Polling uses commentThreads.list at just 1 unit per call.
Quota management
SafeComments tracks daily quota per GCP project, rotates across multiple projects, and enters read-only degraded mode at 80% usage.
Why this matters
Without quota awareness, moderation tools break during viral videos. See our pricing for plan limits that match your volume.
