Looker Studio Rate Limits

Looker Studio (datastudio.googleapis.com) is governed by Google Cloud per-project / per-user quotas managed through the Cloud Quotas page rather than a tier-specific RPS table on the pricing page. Connector and embedding APIs inherit quotas from the underlying data source service.
