Hey I've searched the forums and not seen anything on this. I've properly implemented Google Sheets API and it pulls text from my google sheet, but I get the error "Too Many Requests" from within vMix, no matter how infrequently I have the data update (30,000 milliseconds). I'm only pulling from 5 text fields.

Is this error still going? That seems insane if so! Help!

The Google Sheets API is free to use, but usage limits apply to each user. If your app is heavily used by many users, you will receive an error message (429: Too many requests)
You can buy credits to avoid this if you need shorter response times. In my experience, a value below 8000 ms results in an error message too many requests (in the “Manage Datasource” window of vMix, bottom right, Update Data every xxx Miliseconds)
There is a good description here

Thanks for this! I actually set the refresh time to every 30,000 milliseconds though!

Also one thing to note if your google sheet has more than one page/sheet vmix will request all sheets every time to increasing your request rate
