    We use WP Mail SMTP to send mail using a Gmail API. Some Notification Emails fail due to the Topic Title Reason and not for the same recipients or the same number of emails. The full JSON is shown below. Can you suggest how to correct.

    {
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Queries' and limit 'Queries per minute per user' of service 'gmail.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:161471765097'.",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Queries' and limit 'Queries per minute per user' of service 'gmail.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:9999999999'.",
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "rateLimitExceeded"
}
],
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}
}

    Hi Joel,

    unfortunately, SMTP is not suitable for handling a large set of recipients, it needs to connect with SMTP individually for each recipient, thus you get the rate exceeded errors.

    I suggest using services like Mailgun or Sendgrid that can handle thousands of submissions via an API call (not SMTP). We have integrations for these. See extension for SendGrid and Mailgun.

    I hope this helps!
